About Us

Turkey Human Resources Education and Health Foundation (TIKAV) was founded by the Akın Family in Ankara on 15.01.1999 in order to carry out Akfen Holding’s social responsibility projects. The main sponsor of the foundation is the Akın Family and AKFEN Holding.

TIKAV invests in individuals; it’s projects are divided into three categories: The Individual Development Program, National Projects and The International Award for Young People-Türkiye. TIKAV aims to deliver projects related to the education and development of individuals whilst finding sustainable solutions to the problems it addresses.

Until today, TIKAV has carried out several projects all across Turkey with varying demographics across society meeting with the youth, with children living in mountain villages, women, local authorities, families of disabled people, sick children seeing treatment in hospitals and their mothers. TIKAV has also worked on maintenance and repair of schools.

The foundation delivers the Individual Development Program (IDP) to university students in the Eastern and South Eastern Anatolian regions of Turkey. These students, due to societal and economic reasons, do not necessarily have easy access to educational, cultural and personal development opportunities.

Within the scope of National Projects, TIKAV has worked in partnership with Mersin International Port (MIP), Turkey Young Business Men Association Ankara Branch (TÜGIAD), MARTAŞ Automative and Akfen Renewable Energy.

 

· In partnership with MIP in Mersin, TIKAV has carried out the “New Traditions in Old Villages” Project with children in mountain villages, “Mother’s School” Project with mothers in the Mediterranean and Taurus townships, “Hand-in-Hand with Local Authorities in Mersin”, The “We Fix, You Study” Project in which we renovated schools in need determined by the Mersin Provincial Directorate for National Education, “The Disabilities Within Us” Project with relatives of those who are disabled and the “Working Life and Women” as well as “Communication Within the Family” Panels.
