Hope Caravan launches winter clothing aid campaign for needy children

The winter aid package, which is part of the campaign titled "Let Our Tiny Brothers and Sisters Not Get Cold," has been set at a cost of 750 Turkish Lira (TL) per child.

Cengiz Kurtaran, President of the Umut Kervanı Humanitarian Aid Foundation, spoke with Ilke News Agency about the initiative. He shared insights into the forthcoming winter clothing aid campaign that will be conducted not only in Turkey but also in various countries worldwide, with a special focus on regions like Syria and Afghanistan.

Kurtaran explained: "As the Hope Caravan Foundation, we have been involved in winter clothing efforts during each winter season, both domestically and internationally. This year, we have launched a project with the theme 'Let Our Tiny Brothers and Sisters Not Get Cold.' The initiative will be carried out in both domestic and international settings. We plan to distribute winter clothing, particularly in rural areas of Syria, mountainous regions of Afghanistan, and across our own country."

The campaign will cater to children up to the age of 15, with the clothing distribution scheduled to commence in the second week of November. The Hope Caravan Foundation anticipates providing winter clothing to tens of thousands of children through this endeavor.

Kurtaran continued: "While we continue our ongoing aid efforts in Gaza, we also plan to extend assistance to our brothers and sisters there once a ceasefire is established. We call upon all philanthropists to support our cause. We urge those who can to contribute 750 TL for the winter clothing package. Your support is invaluable, and may Allah reward all our benefactors."

The Hope Caravan Foundation's winter clothing aid campaign seeks to ensure that children in need are well-pre pared for the challenges of the cold winter months. (ILKHA)
