On the night of 31 December, the Conquest of Jerusalem and Mecca Program organized by the National Will Platform in Esenler was held with an enthusiastic participation. By taking part in this meaningful event, our association had the opportunity to commemorate these blessed conquests, one of the important turning points in Islamic history.
Different non-governmental organizations, volunteers and the people of Esenler showed great interest in the program. The event, full of recitations of the Holy Quran, hymns and speeches, strengthened the awareness of the ummah as well as reminding the conquest of the holy cities of Islam.
As Valide Humanitarian Aid Association, we believe that such organizations reinforce the feelings of unity and solidarity. During the event, we also had the opportunity to give information about the activities of our association and meet with visitors.

The "Kindness Store" (İyilik Mağazası), brought to life by the Valide Humanitarian Aid Association, was officially inaugurated with a ceremony held in the Fevzi Çakmak Neighborhood of Esenler. Attended by Esenler District Governor Süleyman Özçakıcı and Esenler Deputy Mayor Kenan Yaşar, the store began serving those in need, standing out from similar initiatives in Turkey by stocking exclusively brand-new items on its shelves. A monthly shopping credit is assigned to approved applicants via a dedicated algorithm; everyone walking through the door is welcomed not as an "aid recipient," but as a valued customer. Browsing the aisles, trying on selected garments in fitting rooms, beneficiaries complete their checkout without paying any money and leave the store bags in hand.
Valide Humanitarian Aid Association Board Chairman Muhammed Faruk Pirdal and Foreign Relations Officer Muhammed Mardini conducted an extensive visit to the region to examine ongoing humanitarian aid activities in Syria and plan new projects.
To draw attention to the ongoing humanitarian tragedy in Gaza and to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, Valide Humanitarian Aid Association participated in the march held on Davutpaşa Street.
