We are a local public body working with disadvantaged groups in the field of sports. Those seeking partners for their sports projects please get in touch!
We are a local public entity under the Ministry of Family and Social Services in Türkiye. Our scope of work encompasses various areas, including initiatives for children and youth, women, individuals with disabilities, and the elderly-targeting disadvantaged groups. We have 5 ongoing Erasmus+ projects, countless local projects and 20+ years of experience.
As the mission of our institution, women, elderly, disabled individuals and children who receive services from our institutions are encouraged to participate in at least one sport in order to increase their well-being, increase their social skills and become healthier individuals. In addition, sports tournaments are organized for the staff to alleviate the secondary trauma they are exposed to.
We are especially trying to direct women and girls to sports. Because we believe that encouraging them to participate in sports not only promotes physical well-being but also contributes to their holistic development, empowering them to face challenges and excel in various aspects of life.
Within our Provincial Directorate, 565 of over 1800 children of educational age are licensed athletes. Our children play sports in 14 branches of our 2 sports clubs and in different branches of other amateur sports clubs. Provincial tournaments are regularly organized among our children according to their ages in fields such as football, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, darts, swimming, chess and mangala.
Our children won 16 medals in the World Championships and 32 medals in the European Championships in the field of Kempo.78 sports events were organized in 2023, and 5221 children and staff participated in the events.
