Late businessman Salih Tatlıcı’s wife Nurten Tatlıcı and their son Uğur Tatlıcı donated to the World Food Programme (WFP), which works under the United Nations and fights hunger worldwide. Uğur and Nurten Tatlıcı, who donated to the School Feeding section created by the program for the healthy nutrition of school-age children, became the program’s supporters that help feed millions of children worldwide every day as the world’s largest and most comprehensive school meal provider.

For a Better World, Don’t Let Children Go Hungry

“My late father used to say that ‘hunger is one of the greatest disasters that can happen to a person.’” He always prayed that no one would be educated by hunger, and he always supported everyonestarving, whether child or adult. If we want to live in a world in peace and tranquility, the problem of hunger must be resolved. In a world of abundance, hunger should be a thing of the past. My mother and I also believe that hunger will lead to diseases, deaths, and an increase in the tendency to commit crimes, and we support organizations that fight hunger,” Uğur Tatlıcı said regarding the donation.

Humanitarian organization that saves and changes lives: World Food Program (WFP)

World Food Programme (WFP) is the ‘United Nations’ food aid program and the world’s largest humanitarian organization in the field of hunger and food security. Established in 1961, the program also delivers food aid to people in emergencies such as wars and natural disasters.

One of the fields of activity within the scope of the World Food Programme is the support of School Feeding. Almost all countries around the world have a school meal program, and every day, efforts are made to ensure that at least 368 million children, from kindergartens to secondary schools, have a healthy diet and complete their development in favorable conditions.

With the efforts of the World Food Programme, effective steps can be taken for both education and healthy nutrition of children by reaching the poor and families struggling with hunger through their school-age children.

The donations and aid projects mentioned here were made with the personal income of 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.
