QNET Turkey in partnership with RYTHM Foundation participated in the Istanbul Marathon held on 15th November and helped raise funds for the Koruncuk Village, a village founded by the Turkish Foundation for Children in Need of Protection (TKMCV).
Statistics in Turkey show that there are hundreds of thousands of children in need of protection, especially those who have been abandoned or are without families. The involvement of QNET and the Foundation was aimed to provide assistance to these children in any possible way.
During the marathon, members of QNET Turkey’s ‘Team Game Changer’ proudly donned QNET t-shirts with the Koruncuk logos to raise awareness and support for the children of Koruncuk village. They also actively promoted the event through word-of-mouth and social media channels, informing the public about how they could donate towards the cause.
Prior to the run, employees of QNET Turkey visited the Koruncuk Village that is home to 128 children and their respective guardians. They dibbled in the village garden alongside the villagers and even shared a meal with the children. The bonding session made them realise that even a small gesture of kindness can mean a lot to the underprivileged.
The Turkish Foundation for Children in Need of Protection (TKMCV), was founded in 1979 by a group of volunteers who established villages that provide children with shelter, a proper education and also a place to develop their skillsets in preparation for a better future. TKMCV believes that every child reserves the right to receive compassion, love, shelter, basic necessities and a fulfilling and wholesome education, while being in a healthy environment.
QNET Turkey was extremely happy to have been a part of this charity run, which is in line with the RYTHM corporate philosophy.
