Adopt a classroom in Türkiye!

These teachers from Siirt and Şırnak are relying on our community's help to gather supplies for their classrooms. Would you be willing the one to help them today? For the mere cost of $275, you can equip an entire classroom with a set full of educational games and materials aimed at improving children's cognitive skills.

 

📌 In a village home to fewer than 500 people in Siirt, Servet Özdemir educates a class of 30 students, aspiring to ignite their interest in mathematics with engaging games and educational resources.

 

📌 In Şırnak’s Cizre district, Gülşah Yıldız, one of the only six teachers at Aşağıçeşme Elementary School, reports her students' keen interest in math, hindered only by a lack of learning materials.

 

Your contribution can pave the way for a brighter educational journey for students in Türkiye's rural schools, equipping them with essential skills for a rapidly changing world 🌟 Click the button below to donate a math set, or reply to this e-mail if you would like to know more!
