TOG Disaster Coordination team in the field!

Community Volunteer youth respond to the needs in disaster areas along with other NGOs that are members of the Disaster Platform of which we are a founding member.

In 2003, after the earthquake in Bingöl, Community Volunteer youth set out with the motto "Bingöllüyüz Bin Gönüllüyüz (We are from Bingöl, we are a thousand volunteers)” and have been working to heal the wounds of disasters in our country since then.

Disasters in which Community Volunteer youth actively participated:

TOG, which is also preparing to implement sustainable projects for the post-disaster recovery process, lists the aid sent to the region with the contributions of its corporate and individual donors in line with the principle of transparency as follows: container toilets, bathrooms, generators and generator fuel, industrial stoves, thermal tents, camping beds, sleeping bags, textile materials, health and hygiene supplies.  In addition, 2 vans were allocated to the warehouse in Hatay for the distribution of materials.

We started to implement TOG Support Centers to contribute to the social and psychological healing process of children and youth affected by the disaster in the earthquake region. We aim to move the Support Centers, which started with the establishment of a tent in Kahramanmaraş Elbistan, to a prefabricated structure in the near future. In the tent, the "Would You Be My Student" project team formed by youth teaches high school and university preparatory students the subjects they need. The "Bayer Young Science Ambassadors" project team makes children love science with experiments, and the "Play as much as the Sky" team plays games with children and contributes to their healing process. Since last week, youth have conducted workshops with more than 150 children.

We established the Disaster Scholarship Fund

We continue to expand the Disaster Scholarship Fund, which we created to contribute to the education of youth affected by the earthquake through our different cooperation models.

Within the scope of the fund, we have so far reached 621 youth with the support of GSK, Oggusto, Spotify, Cream Co, Elidor, Mudo, Paribu, Akasya, Loreal and HSBC. Our goal is to provide scholarship support to 1,000 youth for a minimum of 12 months.
