Almost 40 days have passed since the official announcement of the first Covid-19 case in our country. During this period, TIDER, being one of our country's source of pride NGOs, continued to increase their aid. TIDER, which has accomplished very important projects so far, will continue to stand by the Turkish people with its help during this period when the needy has increased exponentially.

Now let's briefly tell you what we have done: as part of the fight against Covid-19, since March 16, we received both product and cash donations from many local and global brands. With this support, we aim to reach more needy families through the food banks in the TIDER (Basic Needs Association) network.

The institutions we worked with during this process and their support

- with the cooperation of Coca-Cola and their partnership with Kizilay, they will be able to provide through the food banks in our network, 150 thousand families in 7 regions across 29 cities hygiene and cash support.

- Pepsi Turkey contributing food aid to the food banks in the TIDER network 

- As a result of our cooperation with Cargill; We sent 400 food and cleaning boxes to the İzmit Municipality, 150 food and cleaning boxes to the İzmit District Governorship and 600 food and cleaning boxes to the Balikesir Municipality.

 

- Yeryuzu Kooperatifi launched a special campaign for TIDER. They produced a “Basic Needs Package” food parcel which can be purchased and donated to those in need or directly to TIDER.

- by supporting this campaign, Dr. Mehmet Toprak started his own campaign. He announced that he will give free online patient assessments to those who donate the parcel from Yeryuzu Cooperative to TIDER.

- Trendyol provided the links of 12 different charities along with TIDER’s on their website 

- YogaZero.com donated their 1-week income to TIDER in April.

- the members of the Association of Women Entrepreneurs (KAGIDER) decided to donate their April income from their monthly breakfast meetings to TIDER. Emin Capa will be the speaker of the meeting that will be held on the digital platform on April 30.

Continual efforts to generate benefits!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our corporate and individual donors wholeheartedly. With your support, we will continue to help hundreds of thousands of needy people. In addition, I would like to thank all our executives and management board, especially TIDER and the professionals of the food banks in our network, who work devotedly in the field for all these aids to reach those in need. As a result of the collective efforts of everyone, we are able to reduce the negative effects of the Covid-19 epidemic on the Turkish people, and we can instil a little morale in our country.

 

 

What will happen next? I'll tell you right away. TIDER will continue to do exemplary works in the name of Turkish NGOs with different projects and new models it has put forward. It will work with all its might to produce useful efforts for its country and its people. Anyone who wants to be with us on this journey can contact me directly, and I can direct you to our relevant professionals.
