About Us

Our History

Pateka started in 2021, helping a Syrian refugee in Turkey with essentials like school uniforms. This sparked more support, reaching students in need with crucial resources. Now, we continue our mission, assisting those facing challenges like health conditions, improving lives step by step in line with our vision of a caring world.Our journey is about making real change, starting small but growing to help more people. From our first act of kindness in Turkey to ongoing projects, we’re driven by compassion and a shared goal of making life better for everyone.

Our Mission

Our aim is to support needy children, adolescents, students, and individuals aspiring for vocational training, both domestically and internationally. We seek to address the challenges faced by these individuals, who often lack resources for basic necessities such as educational materials and weather-appropriate clothing. By focusing on financial support, we aim to facilitate equal opportunities and provide a brighter future for those in need, particularly in regions where governments struggle to address such issues.

Our Vision

We envision a world of equal opportunities in education and personal growth for everyone, regardless of their background. We bridge gaps by transparently mobilizing resources, ensuring that all contributions directly benefit those in need, and fostering a supportive community where individuals can thrive.
