“We wanted to create a community free of political and religious considerations. To give the opportunity for anyone, regardless of their background, to contribute with their skills and time to help those in need.

All human beings are equal and deserve to be treated as such. Our philosophy is that empathy makes us human and it is this idea that guides all our actions. Give what you can, take what you need and care for each other .”

Ali Güray Yalvaçli – Founder of Imece

The 2020 health crisis has affected our organization. As a small organization, we rely entirely on the generosity of our donors and on-site volunteers in Turkey. The pandemic taught us that during a crisis the most vulnerable are often hit the hardest. But together we are stronger.

To enable our charity’s current projects’ survival and to help us rebuild more solidly, WE NEED YOU! Here is how your donations can make a difference:

-School supplies (stationery, books, and basic learning materials) for refugee children participating in the Back to School programme.
-Food packages (approximately 12 kg of essential food supplies) for displaced families.
-Support for a teacher working across our programmes, contributing to children’s educational and psychosocial activities.
