  1. CHARITY ORGANISATIONS IN MY COUNTRY

  2. The Foundation for Children with Leukemia was established in 1998.Prior to this, children with leukemia were treated at the Social Security Government Hospital.

  3. Every year in Turkey we see 1000 - 1500 new cases of children diagnosed with leukemia.

  4. Families with limited financial resources may be forced to make a difficult decision-that of choosing to support their healthy child, or their child who has leukemia. LÖSEV helps to shoulder this unexpected financial burden. However, not only does it aim to provide income for these little heroes, it also endeavours to communicate the problems of our children and their families to society in order to create awareness of leukemia.

  5. THE CITY FOR THE CHILDREN WITH LEUKEMIA

  6. Why A Necessity? • BECAUSE  Cancer diseases have started to become more common among children. Every year more than a million children in the world and approximately 1200 children in Turkey are under the risk of being afflicted by leukemia. On the other hand, WHO warns us: There will be a 60% increase in cancer diseases by 2020.

  7. BECAUSE  During the treatment of leukemia hygiene, nutrition and staying in touch with life are equally important as medication. Children should not conceive of hospitals as a place where they will be treated for approximately three years, but as an entertaining playschool and a warm home. • BECAUSE  At birth a child cannot choose between poverty or wealth and between being healthy or ill. Nor can he/she choose the place to be treated. Whereas according to the Children’s Rights Agreement, every child should have the right to live and be treated under equal circumstances and state patronage.

  8. TURKISH RED CRESCENT SOCIETY Turkish Red Crescent Society is a humanitarian organisation that provides relief to the vulnerable and those in need by mobilising the power and resources of the community to protect human dignity anytime, anywhere, under any conditions and support the enhancement of the community’s capacity to cope with disasters. The vision of the Turkish Red Crescent Society is to be a humanitarian aid organisation that embraces and is embraced by the entire society, constantly enhancing its reputation and quality of service at national and international levels.

  9. The TURKISH RED CRESCENT SOCIETY was born from a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded and sick soldiers on the battlefield. The Red Crescent was established on 11 June 1868 during Ottoman Empire.

  10. The Turkish Red Crescent Is Together With The People Of Van

  11. The humanitarian aid works of the Turkish Red Crescent (TRCS), which took action immediately after earthquakes magnitude 7.2 and 5.6 took place in Van, are streaming.

  12. Turkish red crescent is ready to send aid to Syria! • Kizilay has been operating for a year in southeastern province of Hatay and provided 10,000 people with catering services. It has been also fulfilling psycho-social, education and food needs of those people. It has six tent cities in the area.

  13. 1.276.000 units of blood were donated to Turkish Red Crescent in 2011
