Ügi and Tohara

As Maya Vakfı, with our approach where we put children at the center and include adults who are in direct contact with them, we aim to support the well-being of both children and parents, and to open up areas where they can reveal their potentials. During the pandemic we are going through globally, we intend and care to carry the “trauma informed” approach to adopt online platforms.

During the pandemic, we support children’s creativity, imagination, emotion regulation and problem-solving skills with our story titled “Ügi and Tohara”, which we have prepared by taking into account the changing emotional states of children. We help them to create routines, to find different areas of expression. In order to be inclusive and reach more children, we offer both Turkish and Arabic versions of our story and use sign language.
