Dear KEDV Supporters,
We sincerely thank you for your continued support of KEDV and theWomen and Children Centerswe established in the provinces affected by the devastating earthquake in Türkiye.
As part of ourearthquake response program, we aimed to support those most affected—especially women and children—by ensuring their leadership in recovery efforts and addressing their urgent needs. To facilitate community participation in humanitarian aid and reconstruction, we launched10 Women and Children Centersacross the region.
To support women'spsychosocial well-being and economic empowerment, we provided courses inentrepreneurship, skills training, English, literacy, leadership, advocacy, financial literacy, and digital literacy.
As part of our Early Childhood Activities, we established Toy Libraries and continue working with nearly 3,000 children, supporting their development through play-based learning and access to one nutritious meal each day.
Understanding that access tomenstrual products is a basic human right, we conductedpublic health sessionson topics such asmenopause education, menstrual hygiene, and breast examination, empowering women with vital health knowledge. Additionally, we raised awareness aboutlice and scabies outbreaks, childhood diseases, menstrual stress management, and gender equalitythroughSisterhood Workshops.
