Our Foundation Supports “Yedikule Surp Pırgiç Armenian Hospital Foundation”

Salih Tatlıcı Foundation has donated to the centuries-old “Yedikule Surp Pırgiç Armenian Hospital Foundation” affiliated to the Armenian community in Istanbul, which was established in 1832, has treated patients from many parts of our country, and has sheltered the elderly, orphans and motherless without deviating from its understanding of respect for humanity and service throughout its history nearly two centuries.

Centuries-old institutions operating with a sense of social responsibility should be supported

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “We are pleased to support the centuries-old “Yedikule Surp Pırgiç Armenian Hospital Foundation”, which provides services to our society by continuously increasing patient, patient relatives, employee safety and satisfaction by providing advanced medical services with an equally advanced social responsibility awareness, and by taking measures to prevent all negative effects of the service provided on human, nature and animal health.”

Yedikule Surp Pırgiç Armenian Hospital Foundation

Yedikule Surp Pırgiç Armenian Hospital, one of the most established and experienced hospitals in Turkey, was founded under the leadership of Kazaz Artin Amira Bezciyan with the initiatives and support of the leading members of the Armenian community of the period. Established in 1832 with the decree of the Ottoman Sultan Mahmut II, the Hospital completed its construction and equipment works on 31 May 1934 and started to serve. Reliability and social responsibility have been the main principles guiding the Hospital’s activities throughout this period.

The Hospital, which meticulously adheres to its founding objectives and takes great care to preserve ethical values without deviating from the understanding of respect for humanity and service, has also closely followed technological developments. Surp Pırgiç Hospital is a hospital that has succeeded in both preserving its historical identity and adapting itself to technological innovations that are developing at a dizzying pace.

Our Foundation Supports “Once Girl Can Society”

According to the BBC Afghanistan correspondent, the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, which bans girls from attending university, also prevents girls from leaving the country to study abroad.

As the Foundation, we have donated to One Girl Can Society, a charity organisation registered in Canada and Kenya, which supports every step of a girl’s life-changing journey from the moment she leaves primary school until the day she finds a significant job. The Foundation received a letter of thanks from the society regarding the donation.

It Is Possible To Raise A Generation, One Girl At A Time

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “Girls need to be well educated in order for future generations to grow up healthy. Even a modest donation will help drive a cycle of empowerment that will raise up a generation, one girl at a time. Because when you help one girl overcome the pressures of poverty and gender inequality, she can do the same for another. Every gift, big or small, will help empower a generation of girls.“

One Girl Can Society

One Girl Can was founded in 2008 by South African-born Lotte Davis to help break the cycle of poverty and increase gender equality through education. Activities first began in some of the poorest areas of Kenya. Recognising that a safe learning environment is essential to support girls’ education, girls’ schools were built and renovated.

One Girl Can Society creates opportunities for young women through a holistic model of education, mentoring and training. One Girl Can now proudly sponsors more than 1,000 girls. Many of the students enter medical school, and become engineers, lawyers, technologists and business professionals. The mentoring programme runs from the time the girls start secondary school until their final year of university. The programme currently mentors more than 11,000 students annually.

We Stand by the Friendly and Brotherly Palestinian People

Our Foundation has donated to the “Palestine Red Crescent Society“, which is closely interested in the health, welfare, social and cultural needs of the friendly and brotherly Palestinian people living in the Palestinian territories (Jerusalem and the West Bank, including the Gaza Strip), which have been occupied by Israel, who have been killed, maimed and wounded by Israel’s brutal attacks for years, without any elderly, children or women.

A letter of thanks has been presented to our Foundation by the Society regarding the donation.

Israel Must End The Occupation Of Palestinian Territories

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “Israel has been illegally occupying the Palestinian territories for more than fifty years. For fifty years, Israel has been persecuting our innocent Palestinian brothers and sisters who have become a minority in their own homeland and cannot live their religion, including the holy days of Muslims. We condemn the Israeli security forces’ attacks on places of worship, under various pretexts, and the atrocities committed by the Israeli security forces against our Palestinian brothers and sisters who worship by disregarding the spirituality and sanctity of the places of worship. Our anger towards Israel is not because they are Jews, but because they are occupiers, expansionists, and oppressors. As a foundation, we supported the “Palestine Red Crescent Society”, which operates for the friendly and brotherly Palestinian people. On this occasion, we hope that diplomatic efforts will be concluded positively as soon as possible, Israel’s occupation will end and peace will be established permanently.“

Palestine Red Crescent Society

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) is a national, independent and officially recognised society and a component of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, operating in the occupied Palestinian territories and in the gathering places of the Palestinian people, based on the Geneva Convention.

Conventions and the seven principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, volunteerism, unity and universality. The first Red Crescent Society in Palestine was founded in Jerusalem in 1910. The Red Crescent continued to spread in other Palestinian cities, such as Haifa, Jaffa, Nablus and Hebron, which accompanied the suffering of the Palestinian people from the Nakba in 1948 to the present day. The Palestine Red Crescent Society was officially established as a National Society on 26.12.1968, and the Society began to provide health services through a small clinic in the Schneller Palestinian refugee camp in Jordan. According to the decision of the Palestinian National Council at its sixth session held in Cairo on 1.9.1969, it became a legal entity and after that date, it became an important health and social institution of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, which includes dozens of people. This important role and legal status of the Society was confirmed by Presidential Decree No. 46 of 1977 and Presidential Decree No. 12 of 2006. Accordingly, the Society obtained full membership (member No. 184) of the International Federation of Indians. The Crescent and Red Cross Societies are based on the resolution of the twenty-ninth International Conference of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement of 22.6.2006.

The mission of the Palestinian Red Crescent is to provide humanitarian, health, social and relief services to the Palestinian people wherever and whenever needed. The Society aims to increase its preparedness for various emergencies, such as natural disasters and the suffering caused by the occupation, in order to prevent human suffering and to continue to provide and develop the community’s health and social services and programmes. It aims to strengthen and diversify the Society’s partnerships to improve the quality of the homeland and the Diaspora, to activate its pressure, advocacy and humanitarian diplomacy programmes and to receive support to develop its humanitarian role, to continue the process of institutional building and to strengthen the capabilities of the Society. The Society and its branches work to fulfil its mandate and face the challenges it encounters.

Our Foundation Supports the Rehabilitation of Down Syndrome

As the Salih Tatlici Foundation, we have donated to the “Down Syndrome Foundation of Madrid” (Down Madrid), a non-profit non-governmental organisation in Spain, to ensure the individual autonomy and full socialisation of people with Down syndrome and other people with different intellectual disabilities, and to provide immediate and effective support to children, families and individuals with disabilities.

Down Syndrome Foundation of Madrid

Down Syndrome Foundation of Madrid (Down Madrid) is a non-profit organisation of public interest, born more than 30 years ago as a result of the enthusiasm and work of a group of families who came together to create a meeting point for families and professionals dedicated to “Down Syndrome”.

Its aim is to ensure the individual autonomy and full socialisation of people with Down syndrome and other people with different intellectual disabilities. The mission of “Down Madrid” is to defend the right to life and dignity of people with Down syndrome or other intellectual disabilities, as well as their right to full family, school, work and socialisation and to improve their quality of life from birth to old age. It does this always with their participation and by placing them at the heart and centre of the organisation. The Foundation’s vision is the transformation of all societies into one in which people with intellectual disabilities are fully included and all their rights are recognised.

On the 78th Anniversary of the Tragedy in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, We Share the Sorrow of the Friendly Japanese Nation

On 6 and 9 August 1945, two atomic bombs exploded over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively. The bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of them civilians. Wildlife was destroyed where the bombs were dropped. People became ill and continued to die later because of the radiation spread over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Since radiation also affected reproductive cells, babies were born with genetic disorders.

As the Foundation, we have donated to Friends of the Earth Japan (FoE Japan), a non-governmental organisation working in Japan and around the world to stop climate change, nuclear energy and deforestation, to share the pain of our Japanese friends.

All Nuclear Switches Must Be Made Meaningless Immediately

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “Despite the tragedy that took place in Japan 78 years ago, the use of nuclear weapons in an armed conflict continues to be a threat today. Sharing the sorrow of our Japanese friends today is not only about remembering the terrible, albeit vital, loss of life in Hiroshima and Nagasaki 78 years ago but also about committing ourselves to work for humanity, for a better future, and for children not to die. As a human family, we must not forget the tragedy of these two cities. We must ensure that future generations know the destruction caused by nuclear weapons and are inspired to take action to eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons.”

Friends of the Earth – Japan

Since 1980, Friends of the Earth Japan* has been striving for a sustainable society where all life on the planet is in harmony and everyone can live in abundance. It works by bringing together all voices, even if each person’s voice is small, such as the voices of residents facing development projects, the voices of people who fear radiation damage, and the voices of the surrounding environment. It aims to create power together with citizens who want to stop climate change, nuclear power and deforestation. “Friends of the Earth Japan operates with the support of donors and volunteers

Our Foundation Supports Greenfinity Foundation

Forest fires increase all over the world during the summer months. These fires may occur consciously or unconsciously in tourism regions or in more desolate places such as picnic areas. As the Foundation, we have donated to the Greenfinity Foundation, which produces climate and environmental projects, especially forest areas, which are the guarantee of our future. Greenfinity Foundation presented a letter of thanks to our Foundation regarding the donation.

We Will Continue To Donate Saplings To Increase Our Forest Areas

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “As is the case every summer, we are very saddened to receive news of forest fires almost every day, not only in our country but also in many parts of the world. Various measures should be taken in our country and all over the world to prevent forest fires. People should be constantly made aware of this issue. With the principle of sustainable life, we support voluntary, conscious, pioneering non-governmental organisations in our country and in the world that work on the basis of science for the protection of all-natural assets, especially our lands, and believe in social peace coming from the soil. We will always continue to do our part to protect nature and the environment.”

Our Foundation Supports Our Children’s Education

As the Foundation, we donated to Bursa Nilüfer Şehitler Secondary School to meet the “smart whiteboard” needs of our children so that they do not keep up with their peers in the world and can study better and more modern education.

Support For Education Is The Priority Of Our Foundation

Regarding the donation, Uğur Tatlıcı, Executive Board Member of our Foundation, said: “Today’s technology has provided innovations in the education sector as in every field. Technological products, which are the easiest way to access information, have started to be included among the educational tools and equipment in our schools. Today, thanks to technological products such as smart boards, the time, working capacity and convenience gained in education have been productive both for students and facilitated the work of teachers a little more. As the Foundation, we will continue to support education at every opportunity.”

What is a smart board?

Smart board products are technological products that provide students with an interactive education using the speed and flexibility of the computer. These products can connect to the internet and access video, text or websites and can also be preferred as a writing board.

Smart boards allow teachers to write and transfer information by touch without the need for apen. In this way, a much faster and more efficient infrastructure has been created in education.

The conveniences that the smart board introduces to education and training are as follows:

  • It allows the processing of all kinds of documents and data in the virtual environment.
  • It increases the teaching capacity of teachers and provides students with a pleasant educational
    experience.
  • It enables students to study more efficiently.
  • Thanks to interactive applications, it enables students to develop creative thinking ability.
  • It makes the lessons more permanent and professional.
  • Students and teachers can access the lessons taught at any time.
  • Finally, it is worth mentioning that it provides administrative savings since products such as
    pencils and chalk are not needed.
