Salih Tatlici’s Story of Life 

On January 21, 1931, on a cold winter night in Diyarbakır, Salih Tatlıcı was born.

Salih was the first child of Hacı Şeyhmuz and Hacı Sultan.

An easy childhood was not set for Salih Tatlıcı in Diyarbakır. The people of Turkey were trying to recognize the newly established Republic; the world was scorched by the economic depression.With its scarce resources, the country was trying to realize its modernization plans by putting into effect its five-year industrialization plan. From West to East, there was a mobilization against poverty all over the land.

The eldest child of the house was Salih. Not only was he the nearest and dearest firstborn, but also he was the older brother of Şehmuz, Gülşen, Mustafa, and Aziz. Salih was both going to school and helping his father, who ran a confectionery store…

A life dedicated to philanthropy; His last will "to be a helping hand to the people" is his most precious legacy.
Passing the importance and value of this philanthropy to new generations is our primary duty as a human being.

What we have done and will do in fulfillment of Salih Tatlıcı's last will, will be this valuable legacy that we will share with our people, our country, and the world to keep his honorable memory alive...
