We Celebrate Mother’s Day in Honor of All Mothers — the Heart of Our Families, the Light of Our Homes

From infancy to adulthood, our mothers shape our character and form our conscience. They play a vital role in nurturing future generations. From our earliest moments in the world, mothers care for their children with patience, wisdom, compassion, and kindness. They teach us how to love and help us face both the triumphs and challenges of life.

Mothers are always by our side — a constant source of comfort, reassurance, and inspiration. Their love transcends time, generations, and circumstances.

On this Mother’s Day, we honor every extraordinary mother who enriches our lives through her unconditional love, warmth, support, and devotion, and who helps shape our culture and our communities.

On this occasion, our Foundation has made a donation to Mothers’ Union, an organization committed to creating a peaceful and secure environment for all, advocating for gender justice, and empowering individuals through confidence-building and support.

About Mothers’ Union

The Mothers’ Union movement began in 1876, when Mary Sumner, the wife of a clergyman in Hampshire, founded a group to support all mothers in raising their children. After addressing churchgoing women at the Portsmouth Church Congress in 1885, she inspired many to return to their own parishes and establish similar groups.

These groups soon came together as the Mothers’ Union, becoming a part of their local communities and forming strong ties with the Anglican Church. While supporting each other and giving voice to disadvantaged women, they also began addressing broader social issues.

Driven by Mary Sumner’s passion for women’s role in building a better society, the movement grew rapidly. By 1892, membership had reached 60,000 across 28 dioceses and would grow to 169,000 by the early 1900s. In 1893, annual general meetings began, and in 1896, the Central Council of the Mothers’ Union was established.

In 2026, the Mothers’ Union will celebrate its 150th anniversary, with four million members active across 83 countries.

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.

We Celebrate Mother’s Day in Honor of the Most Sacred Source of Infinite Patience, Unconditional Love, and Compassion: All Mothers

With their boundless love and selfless devotion, mothers make our world a better place. They are not only the ones who gave us life, but also the guiding lights who shape our character, instill our values, and remain our most precious treasures throughout life.

On this special day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and best wishes to all mothers—especially to the cherished mothers of our martyrs, entrusted to us by our heroic fallen.

We celebrate the Mother’s Day of all mothers, the most sacred source of love

Mothers, as examples of beautiful emotions like love, compassion, and self-sacrifice, are the most precious treasures of our lives. There are very few human emotions that can compare to a mother’s compassion for her child.

While fulfilling the responsibilities and duties we have undertaken, we should not forget that our mothers’ blessings are one of our most important sources of strength.

We celebrate Mother’s Day of all mothers, especially the precious mothers of our martyrs, who are entrusted to us by our sacred martyrs.

We Celebrate Mother’s Day with All Mothers Who Beautify Our World

Happy “Mother’s Day” to all mothers who give us strength and support with their presence, who represent self-sacrifice, love, and sensitivity in every aspect of our lives and who are the architects of our future.

On this occasion, Salih Tatlıcı Foundation has donated to the Mehmetçik Foundation, which always stands by the precious mothers of our martyred noncoms and soldiers and their wives with children on Mother’s Day every year, materially and spiritually.
