ABOUT US
WHO ARE WE?
Buldan Education and Solidarity Foundation was founded in 2015 by a group of volunteers who believe that they can change the society with education and started its activities in 2016. It works to raise awareness and empower women through education. As it is known, the active participation of women in the social and economic development process is an important element in the realization of individual and social sustainable development. Women's education means avoiding family poverty, having higher incomes and better living standards. The basis of development lies in women's education. Those who educate women have educated generations, because it is women who educate generations. The Foundation organizes seminars called “Foundation Days” for adult women's active participation in social and economic life, supports women's awareness of their rights, and provides scholarship support to successful girls with limited financial means. In addition, it supports women in the region to monetize the products they make at home and aims to reduce family poverty in this way. With the support of the foundation, the handicraft products of women are monetized in the enterprise on the ground floor of the foundation building. You can reach the Official Gazette (in Turkish) regarding the establishment of the Foundation and the Memorandum of Association for the Foundation from the links.
