Our Causes

Afghanistan has suffered a lot with 40 years of prolonged war. The repercussions are extreme poverty, a jobless population, and damaged infrastructure. More than half the population lives below the poverty line, deprived of basic necessities. Fatih Foundation stepped forward with the help of the Pak-Afghan Cooperation Forum, Red Crescent Afghanistan, and IDDEF, to support the Afghans by providing blankets and warm clothes, distributing ration packages, installing water hand pumps, and facilitating hospitals with medicines. Our various projects within a short time reached the lives of 80 thousand people.

Life in Palestine has been difficult since the Israeli occupation in 1948. About 2 million people living in Gaza are suffering from the worst forms of hardship, including not even having access to the most rudimentary human needs, without being able to meet their basic needs under the worsening blockade. We have reached hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza through our long years of work. In 2020 alone, 159 thousand people benefited from the activities we realized in the field of education, food, health, and orphan projects.

It is the support of thousands of people close to our hearts that permits us to take action in so many countries across the world. And if it weren’t for the volunteers and philanthropists in Turkey, sustaining IHH’s work and mission would not be possible. Making munificent donations, our benefactors enable us to reach out to the poor and the oppressed in more than 100 countries across the world, including Turkey. In 2018, we realized 68 projects in Turkey, including those within the scope of Eid al Adha and Eid al Fitr. In total, 559,000 people in need benefited from these projects.

We have been working since the beginning of the war toward alleviating the suffering of those displaced in Syria and those who sought refuge outside the country. The aid is being provided via our coordination centers to meet the humanitarian needs of Syrians such as accommodation, clothing, education, nutrition, as well as healthcare. We try to minimize the devastating effects of the war on Syrians through welfare projects that make a palpable difference in people’s lives. In 2018, we touched the lives of 9.2 million people with our projects.
