How Can We Help? How Can You Help?

Dear sister,

As our shock, grief, fear, and sadness give way to hope and action, we would like to give you an update on what we have been up to and how we, together, can help our sisters impacted by the earthquake.?

What We Did

• We have supported calls for donations and help,?
• Our CampusWIN Alumni team served as volunteer dispatchers in the first week of the earthquake as a self-organized team,?
• We have matched our partners Ask?da Ne Var with Turkish Philanthropy Funds. Ask?da Ne Var received funding for scholarships to support 160 university students who lost their parents in the earthquake,?
• We have reached out to major NGOs (with over 1000 volunteers) that give psychological support after major disasters and are working on building the capacity of these organizations.?
• ?As a partner of the Women Leadership Platform, we are hosting an ecosystem meeting with NGOs that support women and youth to map our action plans to collaborate and join forces on March 2nd.?

Our Support Plan and How You Can Help?

Our digital #GiveBack platform BinYaprak and mentoring service at Milyon Kad?na Mentor provide us with the capacity, scale, and reach to support women and youth in impacted communities.?

We will support women and youth with these four initiatives:?

Million Women Mentor (Milyon Kadina Mentor):?Starting in March 2023, the program will include non-STEM fields and leave no young woman behind or without a chance to find a mentor. We need your support to reach more mentees (marketing & communication), call impacted mentees to check in, and coordinate stakeholders in impacted cities.?

BinYaprak Job Search Circle:?This is a program for our sisters Who are looking for a job (18-45 years old). Each sisterhood circle will have 5 women and an HR a expert who will provide career coaching and support to the circle.?We plan on launching this digital program in March with your help and our partners' support.

BinYaprak Memleket Circles:?Our sisters who have migrated to new cities have no or limited business or social networks. In partnership with local municipalities (Mersin, Ankara, Ayd?n, etc.), we plan to orchestrate hometown meetups for youth and women to share career and life tips. For example, in Ankara, women who have migrated from?Ad?yaman, people living in Ankara from?Ad?yaman?originally, and our community at large who would like to help will gather in regular, recurring meetings. We are in design and partner alignment stage of this program.

BinYaprak Content Creation:?We are looking for writers to pen articles that will provide clear instructions on How-To's in law, health care, educational support and job search detailing earthquake support programs. Join us if you are passionate about writing and helping those affected by the earthquake.
