About us

This project is set up to save the lives of Homeless and Orphan children If you visit Istanbul you'll see that there are a large number of very young kids (even as young as 4-5) on the streets even at night begging, many orphans in state orphanages in substandard care which is heartbreaking. I usually contribute to Bolluca Children's village when I can, I've attended one of their 'Bayram' parties in a hotel in Istanbul where all the kids came, had party food, danced and got presents, they were so well looked after but so looking for love and care from us and these kind of institutions don't come cheap.However for lovers of Turkey I would also like to point out that Turkey is on the whole a poor country, except maybe thin pockets of wealth. Government lacks funds and/or inefficient to effectively look after homeless or orphan kids and kids in poverty and in need let alone stray dogs.

On a daily basis at least we accommodate two homeless orphans,now we need to extend the accommodation so as to be able to accept more orphans and be able to continue catering for them.

Donations that cannot be used for the project

Dear donors,
when managers of a project haven't requested a payout over the course of a longer period, the German law and our terms of use provide that we (gut.org gemeinnützige AG, operator of betterplace.org) use the money for our tax-deductible purposes. The same applies to the cancellation of a project, where the manager of the project is unable to realize it.

Therefore we will use these donations for the following purposes

Thanks for your support,
the betterplace.org-team
