About Us

Maya Vakfı was founded with the dream of a productive society, open to exploration, devoted to helping others, and filled with healthy individuals who have had a free and safe childhood in June 2015. Maya Vakfı believes that all people deserve to live humanely and have hope for the future, and therefore contributes to the mental, physical and academic development of children and young people aged 5 to 24.

The Foundation supports them toward realizing their potential, expressing themselves freely, developing creative thinking skills and becoming productive. The Foundation carries out extensive programs with the contribution of local and international funds while collaborating with private and public institutions, Maya Vakfı places disadvantaged and traumatized children at the core of its activities and strives to increase the sensitivity and capacity of the people and institutions these children interact with.

The Foundation combines the expertise of professionals with the energy of trained volunteers to create a better future together. Maya Vakfı, within the scope of the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support Program that forms its main field of operation, organizes activities and events to improve coping skills with the aim of supporting the healing process in traumatized children.

Maya Vakfı works through five main pillars, namely

1. Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) programs to refugees and host community through field office
2. A Trauma Informed Schools (TIS) Program
3. PhotoLIFT
4. Capacity building of PSS and social workers working with children and
5. A Volunteer program.
