Our Support for Earthquake Victims Continues

Our Foundation has donated to BEDD (Solidarity Association for the Physically Disabled), which has started a campaign to provide a prosthesis to a “mother” who lost her left foot at the knee level and whose husband and children were also injured in the earthquake in Hatay province on February 6, 2023, because she was buried in the wreckage for 12 hours, to make her life easier compared to her previous standards.

We will continue to support organizations that strive for a life without barriers

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “We hope that our citizens who were injured in the earthquake disaster that affected 11 provinces of our country will reconnect to life and forget their deep pain. As the Foundation, we have donated to the Solidarity Association for the Physically Disabled, which has started a campaign to provide prostheses for Lady Rüzgar, who lost her left leg at the knee level due to being buried in the wreckage in Hatay. We wish Lady Rüzgar to regain her health and an unhindered life as soon as possible.”

The Solidarity Association for the Physically Disabled (BEDD) with a History of Approximately 30 Years

BEDD was founded on 20 July 1993 as a charity association in order to provide social solidarity by contributing to the education and health needs of all orthopedically disabled citizens of the Republic of Turkey. It aims to provide the necessary support for disabled citizens within its body regardless of religion, language, race, region and gender.  It has become a pioneering association in Turkey in breaking down barriers with the activities it carries out. As one of the top twenty most well-known and trusted non-governmental organisations of Turkey, it aims to serve more disabled citizens. It focuses on providing treatment, assistance and education opportunities to physically disabled children and young people, and pioneers their active participation in social life with awareness-raising of their families and society in general. The number of disabled citizens living in Turkey is approximately over 13 million. BEDD delivered wheelchairs suitable for their needs to approximately 45,185 disabled people since 1993 when it was founded to enable disabled individuals to participate in life.

BEDD conducts comprehensive activities on those in need in wheelchair distributions and strives to provide the appropriate vehicle for the nature of the individual disability. These wheelchairs are delivered to disabled people in need with distribution ceremonies organized in 81 provinces with Governorships, District Governorships, or Municipalities throughout the country.

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.

BEDD delivered wheelchairs suitable for their needs to approximately 45,185 disabled people since 1993 when it was founded to enable disabled individuals to participate in life. Wheelchair choices should be made individually. Each chair may not be suitable for every needy person. In order for these chairs to facilitate the life of the disabled, their sizes, designs, and features must be completely personalized. Therefore, BEDD carries out comprehensive studies about the people in need of wheelchair distributions and performs studies to provide the vehicle suitable for the structure of the individual disability. In this way, supporters help in peace, knowing that their individual or institutional wheelchair donations are delivered to the right people and in the most useful way.

These wheelchairs are delivered to disabled people in need at distribution ceremonies organized in 81 provinces across the country in cooperation with Governorships, District Governorships, or Municipalities.

Stating that we stand by our brothers, who work with determination and give strength to all of us with their determined stances and efforts, on the occasion of today, we celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on behalf of our Foundation and wish them a happy and peaceful life with their families.” said regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation.

We Are Proud of Our Children’s Success

“My late father used to say ‘respect for people with disabilities is respect for humanity.’
There are no barriers for us to share life. We are very happy with the success of our
children with disabilities, who received a scholarship grant, and the school-age children of
families having a member with disabilities. We were proud of our students because our
elementary and middle school students, for whom we provided scholarship grants, received
their report cards with an “A+” degree, and one of our students received a certificate of
merit. In our country and in the world, people with disabilities and their children have
equal rights like other individuals in matters that have an important place in social life,
such as education, health, and cultural activities. We believe that the activities and
initiatives held to draw attention to the problems of people with disabilities and their
children are of great importance in terms of social awareness. Together with my mother, we
will always continue to support every step to be taken on this path.” said Uğur Tatlıcı,

Support for the Education of Children of Disabled Families from Uğur and Nurten Tatlıcı

The deceased businessman Salih Tatlıcı’s wife, Nurten Tatlıcı, and their son Uğur Tatlıcı, have once again provided scholarship grants to the Solidarity Association for the Physically Disabled (“the BEDD”) to support the families who have a physically disabled member and therefore have financial difficulties for their children to support their education and the primary school-aged children of our citizens with physical disabilities.

An Unimpeded Life Is Always Possible with Social Solidarity

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı stated: “My late father always used to say to us <remember, each healthy person today is a candidate to be disabled tomorrow; there is no impediment to share the life>. He always considered supporting our disabled brothers and sisters as a duty of humanity. It is our heart that makes us who we are. Together, we can build an unimpeded life with love, solidarity, and empathy. The BEDD is an association working to eliminate challenges for the physically challenged for over twenty years. In addition to many public and private institutions, it has meaningful works that receive support from our citizens. We are also trying to help them. Through the BEDD, we provide educational support to our primary school children who have a physically-disabled relative in their family and are therefore deprived of sufficient financial support to study. Taking this occasion, my mother and I would like to offer our love and respect to all my disabled brothers and sisters and their devoted families; we want them to know that we are always here for them. “
