Donate winter boots & coats

Winters in rural Türkiye can be harsh, and many children lack proper winter clothing. Please help us get warm boots and coats, to ensure children stay warm and healthy throughout the season, so they can focus on learning instead of struggling with the cold. A warm coat today can make all the difference tomorrow. Each boot and coat set is $50.

Every Gift Makes a Difference On

We have put together this Giving Tuesday catalog to share with you personal notes from teachers dedicated to giving the world of opportunity to their students with accessible educational materials and safe and nurturing school and classroom environments to further their love of learning and set them on the path to a bright future.

The lack of basic school supplies and limited access to creative learning tools that educators in Türkiye share with you, underscores that, despite these shortcomings, their students still show up every day eager to learn and grow. Together, we can bridge to bright futures for children and youth in Türkiye—with tools to learn, safe places to grow, and the encouragement to dream beyond their circumstances.
