Our Mission


ATAKÖY FOUNDATION TÜRKİYE is committed to advancing humanitarian health, social development, and resilience in Turkey and beyond. In partnership with the World Bank and the World Health Organization (WHO), our mission is to deliver life-changing health services, empower communities, and foster sustainable progress for all, especially the most vulnerable.

We believe that health is the foundation of opportunity. By working hand-in-hand with the World Bank and WHO, we leverage global expertise, resources, and best practices to address urgent health needs, reduce inequalities, and build stronger, healthier communities. Our approach is rooted in collaboration, innovation, and a deep respect for local knowledge and culture.

Since our founding, we have reached hundreds of thousands of people with essential health care, education, and social support. Our joint initiatives with the World Bank and WHO have enabled us to expand access to quality health services, respond rapidly to emergencies, and implement evidence-based programs that drive lasting impact.
