AÇEV – MOTHER CHILD EDUCATION FOUNDATION

Kağıthane / İSTANBUL, Turkey

Every child deserves a fair start in life.

AÇEV works to make sure every child is safe, healthy, happy, and learning. We develop and implement evidence-based educational programs for children, parents, and young women in need across the country.
Beyond educational programs and field activities, we do awareness building and advocacy work to raise awareness and build support for our work.
In fact, all of our activities center on quality education in early childhood, gender equality, the family’s role in raising the next generation, and life-long learning; all of which are United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Almost one million beneficiaries have participated in our training programs and we continue to grow with our volunteer trainers, tens of thousands of individual donors, and ever expanding collaborative network.
