About Us
Maya Foundation
We believe that everyone deserves to live humanely and have hope for the future. We contribute to the mental, physical, and academic development of children aged 5-18 and youngsters.
It was 16-year-old high school student Emir Özsüer’s sensitivity for children who had to leave their land and seek refuge in other countries due to war that gave birth to Project Lift in December 2014. Initially beginning as a mental health and psychosocial support program, the idea quickly evolved and the program expanded to meet the immense needs. The growling needs of local children and the positive outcomes of the Project Lift model were instrumental in the establishment of a foundation less than a year later. Maya Foundation began its activities in June 2015 with the dream of a society filled with healthy individuals who had experienced a safe, happy and productive childhood free from fear.
