With the opening of schools, we provided stationery support to primary school students with the slogan “My school bag is ready” this year. This aid was provided by the Turkish Philanthropy Funds, established by American-Turkish philanthropists and the With You Foundation, in support of education.

Stationery items such as school bags, notebooks, pencil cases, erasers, sharpeners, scissors, glue, crayons, watercolours and phosphor pens were distributed to 500 children of families in need.

“We believe that education is a human right and that all individuals should have the necessary resources and opportunities for quality education and provide the tools they need to have the future they dream of. That's why we make school stationery sets and activities related to it every year.” Dr Zakira Hekmat stated.

We would like to thank our supporters who act as a bridge between philanthropists in America and non-governmental organizations in Turkey. We wish all students success in the new academic year.

Starting school is the beginning of building tomorrow!
