During the meeting, which took place in a productive framework, humanitarian crises in the world and humanitarian aid efforts were emphasized.
The visit ended with mutual goodwill wishes.
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.
