Projects
Preventing Cigarette Butts Pollution
This project aims to create awareness of throwing cigarette butts into trash, not nature. According to the research, people know that cigarette butts should not be thrown to the ground in order to protect nature; but they don’t implement it. The biggest problem here is neglect and this affects social order, nature, people and animals greatly. The aim of the project is to reduce the waste of cigarette butts and reduce the number of butts thrown to the ground as much as possible. While creating this awareness, it is planned to prepare large, conspicuous, message giving and effecting stickers showing the damage caused by cigarette butts and to raise the standard of social order and life.

Socialization of the Disabled
Given the lack of data accessibility and disabled people in Turkey are the main problems of social services and disability and to overcome the problems that this awareness against people with disabilities is one of the priority tasks. The problem of social cohesion between disabled and non-disabled citizens can be overcome only by providing normal and equal life to our disabled citizens by people without disabilities and seeing the need of disabled people for social activities such as sports. People with disabilities should make the most of these opportunities, where sports contribute to the lives of people with no disabilities in many areas. With this project, which will be implemented in the pilot region, it is aimed to bring together disabled and non-disabled citizens in Sarıyer.

Transparent Management Through “Get Organized!”
The aim is to turn the public into an intermediary in the region where they live. Since there is no active relationship between the society and the state, society has to apply exactly what the state does and says. In order to change this situation, both the public and the state should be more willing to join the local administrations. Specifically, the purpose of this project is to create an app for smartphones or a platform for local people living and working in Mashattan in Mashattan and to keep them in touch with the authorities in the Maslak area of Mashattan.

Re-Evaluation of Food
This project aims to re-evaluate these food products by those in need, starting with the removal of products sold in bakeries, cafes and markets while they can still be used. It has been observed that the physical and spiritual development of orphans is not sufficient within the scope of the food re-evaluation project. Children who do not have a family who are cared for by the state are only provided with as much food as they need. In line with this information, the project aims to contribute to the physical development of the orphan children by providing them with access to more than enough products to survive, and by contributing to their spiritual development by providing access to products that can be considered luxurious for them.

Breakfast for Primary School Students in Sarıyer
According to the studies, it has been observed that children from different income levels have different educational levels. Even in primary schools, the academic performance of children with low income levels was found to be lower than that of children with better income levels. One of the most important reasons for this is that they have low concentration levels in the class as a result of not being able to get the necessary nutrients. The aim of this project is to provide children with breakfast every morning at school, to create equality between them and to increase the education levels of low income children.
