Kuveyt Türk continues to support the campaign launched in 2013 by the Hope Foundation for Children with Cancer (KAÇUV) in order to realize the Family Home built as part of the “Support for Hope” project. As part of the campaign, Kuveyt Türk has donated to KAÇUV 1 TL per transaction using using Altin Kart, Sale Plus Credit Card, Ihtiyac Kart, Business Kart, Business Plus Kart, Nakit Plus and Palmiye Kart, on behalf of its clients, between April 23-30, 2016.
Stating that they have collected 496 thousand TL to be transferred to the Family Home as part of the project this year, Mr. Aslan Demir, Asst. General Manager in Charge of Strategy, said,“We as Kuveyt Türk continue our social responsibility projects in line with our sustainability approach. Supporting the “Family Home” project for 4 years in line with this principle, we could donate 1 million 216 thousand liras. We are aiming at building a second Family Home where the children with cancer and their families can stay free of charge during their treatment and thus supporting more children and families.
The families and children coming from outside Istanbul for their cancer treatment with lower socio-economic status can stay at the Family Home where they are offered free accommodation, food and care. Social and psychological assistance are also provided to the families and children. The patients eligible for staying at the Family Home are assigned by hospitals. So far, more than 300 families stayed at the Family Home.
