Hello fellow Friends and Supporters of TPF!

It was a successful end of year, having raised over $1,000.00 on GlobalGiving! This is a campaign we are very passionate about as it affects both men and women and over 35% of youth in Turkey. Eduating and employing youth is an integral part of building livlihood. Our goal is to raise $35,000, which will have a massive impact on over 100 individuals. Therefore, our campaign continues!

We just heard from one of our stellar partners, who is providing microcredit loans to women in Turkey. Below is a great example of how we will use the funds raised on GlobalGiving to change lives.

Sanem is a married young entrepreneur. She studied glass art. She opened a small studio and after that, five years ago, she started her small business to produce ceramic objects. As she did not have her own kiln at her workshop, she had to take her products to her friend's studio and this made her loose money and time. Adding the loan she got from KEDV to her own savings, she bought a kiln for her workshop. Now she can work more efficiently and reach to more clients.

Your donations will make a direct impact on lives! In the near future, we will be making a call for proposals from our 43 trusted partner nonprofits on the ground. They will make their cases on who's project is making the biggest impact and who's project will stretch your donation dollars the furthest! Until then, we are raising as much as we can to grant to our partner NGOs.

We thank you for your continued support!
