Founded by volunteers in 1979, as Foundation for Children in Need of Protection Turkey (Koruncuk Foundation), we believe every child and every young person has a right to:

• receive compassion, love and understanding,
• adequate nutrition and live in a healthy environment,
• access to facilities to play games and for leisure activities,
• receive a contemporary education and opportunity to develop own skills, briefly a right to live a life with human dignity.

In 2005, our Foundation was given the “ECOSOC Special Consultancy Status” by the United Nations Economic and Social Council for its devoted and successful work on the "children in need of protection”.
