MSF provides assistance to populations in distress, victims of natural or man-made disasters, and victims of armed conflict. They do so regardless of race, religion, beliefs, or political convictions. In the name of universal medical ethics and the right to humanitarian assistance, MSF observes impartiality and neutrality and demands full and unhindered freedom in the exercise of its functions. Members commit to respecting the code of professional ethics and maintaining complete independence from all political, economic, or religious forces.

Support From Our Foundation To The Foundation For Women’s Solidarity

As Salih Tatlıcı Foundation, on the occasion of “8 March International Women’s Day“, we have donated to the “Foundation for Women’s Solidarity“, which has the vision of creating an equal and free world, is committed to combating all kinds of violence against women based on gender inequality, strengthening and spreading women’s solidarity in the face of violence.

“Happy Women’s Day to All Women Who Make the World Beautiful”

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “Women are the most important values of society. All women in the world and our country deserve to be carried on the shoulders rather than being subjected to violence, excluded, belittled, and marginalized. Women are symbols of power, love, and tolerance. We must provide all kinds of support to increase the value and success of all women. As the Foundation, we wholeheartedly celebrate this meaningful day of all women.”

Foundation for Women’s Solidarity

Since its official foundation in 1993, the Foundation for Women’s Solidarity is an independent women’s organization that aims to combat all kinds of violence against women through women’s solidarity, builds solidarity with women who have been subjected to violence, and works with feminist principles.

The foundation has its origins in the “Women’s Debate Group” formed by a group of activist women in Ankara in 1987. This group is of great importance in the history of the women’s movement as it regularly came together in consciousness-raising meetings, shared experiences of womanhood, and helped raise awareness about the prevalence of violence against women. Following the experiences accumulated at these meetings, steps were taken to address the need to open a Women’s Counselling Centre where women exposed to violence could receive free support. The first of these steps was the first “Women’s Counselling Centre” in Ankara, which opened in 1991 in cooperation with a municipality.

The Foundation for Women’s Solidarity contributes to social change to end the legitimacy of violence against women by creating pressure on women’s human rights through its public and media activities. It also carries out awareness-raising activities on combating violence against women through various training programs for women who apply to the Women’s Counselling Centre, volunteers of the Foundation, and professional staff. The Foundation generates financial resources through donations and member contributions from various institutions, organizations, and individuals, sustains its existence with the support of volunteer employees and carries out public information and advocacy activities on violence against women.
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 Commemorate The Late Salih Tatlıcı On The 14th Anniversary Of His Death By Supporting Education

As it is known, the Salih Tatlici Foundation was established by Nurten Tatlıcı, the wife of the late businessman Salih Tatlıcı, and Uğur Tatlıcı, their son, to keep the name “Salih Tatlıcı” alive.

As the Foundation, on this day, the 14th anniversary of Salih Tatlıcı’s death, we commemorate our late elder with respect and longing.

On this opportunity, we, as the Foundation, have donated to the Darüşşafaka Society, which has launched a new donation campaign in order to provide more opportunities to our earthquake-affected children who lost their mother and/or father in the earthquake in 11 provinces, to provide 8 years of uninterrupted quality education, to provide the quality education they deserve and to reach more students from the earthquake region.

A certificate was presented to our Foundation by the Darüşşafaka Society for the donation.

“Supporting education at every opportunity was also a priority for my late father”

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “My late father attached great importance to education. We, as the Foundation, in memory of my dear father on the 14th anniversary of his death; have contributed to the Darüşşafaka, which has always been a home of compassion for talented children who have lost their parents and/or fathers and have insufficient financial means, which has always taken care of our children brought from regions damaged by natural disasters such as earthquakes, and prepared them for their bright futures by providing them with qualified education, and which has now launched an earthquake relief campaign to increase its quota in order to provide 8 years of uninterrupted qualified education to children who have lost their parents and/or fathers in the earthquakes in 11 provinces, which sets an important example of sustainable institutions in our country with its 160-year history. “

For 160 years, our traditional institution providing equal opportunity in education, the Darüşşafaka Society

“Cemiyet-i Tedrisiye-i İslamiye” was founded by Yusuf Ziya Pasha, Gazi Ahmed Muhtar Pasha, Vidinli Hüseyin Tevfik Pasha, Sakızlı Ahmet Esat Pasha and Ali Naki Efendi with the edict of Sultan Abdülaziz Khan dated 30 March 1863. Its aim was to support the education and training of poor and orphaned children. The Society, of which many Ottoman pashas and intellectuals were members, constituted the first example of a civil organization in the field of education in the history of Turkey. Since 1863, the Darüşşafaka Educational Institutions, with the donations of philanthropists, has been raising talented young people who do not have the opportunity for a good education as leader individuals who adopt universal values, are self-confident, and are aware of their duties and responsibilities towards their country and society. The Darüşşafaka Society also provides complimentary scholarship support to graduates of the Darüşşafaka High School who continue their education at the university. On the other hand, since 2014, there is also a higher education scholarship program for university students who are not the Darüşşafaka graduates.
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.
