KEDV, believing in the expertise of low-income women in combating poverty, their power to develop and transform their families and society, works with them with a principled understanding of partnership, develops all its projects with synergy, cooperates with local administrations and other actors in the society. With its activities, KEDV reaches tens of thousands of women and children each year from all over Turkey.
