Children of Earth Association

Children of Earth Association (YEÇED) Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Istanbul, Yeryüzü Çocukları Derneği (YEÇED) is a non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting women and children whose rights are at risk due to conflict, war, natural disasters, or displacement. Our mission is to provide immediate and sustainable aid to those affected, with a special focus on ensuring the psychological, physical, and academic well-being of children. YEÇED operates both in Turkey and internationally, delivering comprehensive programs that address the urgent needs of vulnerable populations. Our projects range from emergency relief efforts to long-term educational and psychosocial support, ensuring that children and their families receive holistic care and opportunities for a better future. Our priority is to develop and implement sustainable solutions that empower communities, with a particular emphasis on the most vulnerable groups—children. Through partnerships, advocacy, and on-the-ground action, YEÇED aims to create a safer, more equitable world where every child can thrive despite the adversities they face.
