Our Foundation Supports Children in Need in our Neighbour Greece

As Salih Tatlıcı Foundation, we have donated to “Together for Children – Mazi Gia To Paidi” Association, a non-profit non-governmental organization consisting of nine member organizations working in the field of child welfare to provide immediate and effective support to children, families, and disabled individuals in need in our neighbor Greece.

We are Stronger Together

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “As you know, the whole world came to the aid of our people in the great earthquake disaster our country encountered this year. Last week, many young people lost their lives and were injured and maimed in a train accident in our neighbor Greece. As the Foundation, we have donated to the “Mazi Gia To Paidi” association in neighboring Greece to help children, adolescents, and families regardless of their gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religious status, beliefs, disabilities, age, or sexual orientation.“

“Together for Children” Association

Founded in 1996 in Greece, “Together for Children – Mazi Gia To Paidi” (Together for Children) Association is a non-profit, non-governmental organization consisting of nine member organizations working in the field of child welfare.

The association assists more than 30,000 vulnerable children a year – regardless of race, religion, and political opinion – who face poverty, social exclusion, domestic violence, chronic illness, mental or physical disabilities, or illness or death in the close family.

In cooperation with other international organizations, the association and its members are pioneers in the development and sharing of good practices as well as in the promotion of scientific research on children and young people in need. The services offered at their non-profit facilities are of high quality and often qualify as case studies in their field.

In 2016, the Association was honored with the Silver Medal of the Academy of Athens for its social contribution, while in 2019 it was awarded a BRAVO Award as a result of its engagement with thousands of citizens in support of the initiative “Equal opportunities for children: Health and Education Actions in remote areas of Greece”.

The donations and aid projects mentioned here were made by the founders of our Foundation, Nurten Tatlıcı and her son Uğur Tatlıcı, in memory of the late Salih Tatlıcı, the benevolent person whose name continues to live on through our Foundation and whom they bid farewell in journey to eternity in 2009.
