Refugee Support


Turkey hosts one of the world's largest refugee populations, and ATAKÖY FOUNDATION TÜRKİYE is committed to providing comprehensive support to refugees and displaced individuals seeking safety and a chance to rebuild their lives. Our programs address immediate needs while fostering long-term integration and self-sufficiency.

Our holistic approach includes emergency assistance, housing support, healthcare, education, language training, and employment programs.
