The Türkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) continues its commitment to caring for orphaned children, providing regular support to 10,139 children in Türkiye and around the world.

Through its “If You Neglect Him He Remains An Orphan” project, TDV strives to meet children’s essential needs, support their education, and help them grow in a safe and nurturing environment.

The Foundation sponsors 8,000 children in 60 provinces across Türkiye and 2,139 children in 21 countries abroad, providing monthly financial aid to each child under its care.

Its support extends beyond financial aid. During Ramadan and Eid al-Adha, sponsored children receive clothing and food shopping vouchers. They are also provided with seasonal clothing, school supplies, and end-of-year gifts. Activities that nurture their social and spiritual development are organised throughout the year.

TDV’s compassion reaches beyond its sponsored children. It also assists other orphaned and needy children with education, school supplies, clothing, and food, while providing food and furnishings to orphanages.

Last year, TDV reached approximately 50,000 orphaned children through 60 projects in 27 countries, carrying its mission of solidarity and care across borders.

How Can You Sponsor an Orphan and Make a Difference?

Those wishing to share in this act of kindness can contribute to TDV’s “#IfYouNeglectHimHeRemainsAnOrphan

project through bagis.tdv.org, the Foundation’s headquarters, or its provincial and district branches.

Sponsorship requires a contribution covering at least one year, payable monthly or as a single donation. It is also possible to sponsor more than one child. The monthly support contribution is TRY 1,500, EUR 28, or USD 28.

Donations of other amounts are also welcome to support orphaned children. In Türkiye, a contribution of TRY 25 can be made by sending “YETİM” via SMS to 5601.

May every act of generosity help bring care, opportunity, and a brighter future to a child in need.
