Vodafone launches foundation in Turkey
Vodafone announced plans to allocate YTL 3 million to charity throughout Turkey this year, through the newly established Vodafone Foundation Turkey.
Each year Vodafone Group donates 100 million British pounds to charities and NGOs around the world. Seventy million pounds are allocated to the 23 national foundations it has established in countries it operates in, while 30 million pounds are administered by the U.K. based Vodafone Foundation headquarters.
The foundation officially established yesterday will receive a donation from Vodafone Foundation's headquarters in the U.K. every year, based on national performance and Vodafone Foundation Turkey will match this amount. For this year a total sum of YTL 3 million will be allocated to the United Nations Development Programme's computer literacy program, the “Support for Teachers” program organized by the Education Ministry and the Turkish Education Foundation among others to be announced next month.
“It is a pleasure to see one of our remarkable new entrants in the realm of social responsibility,” said Dr. Mahmood Ayub, U.N. resident coordinator in Turkey. With Turkey's large young population and thousands of new entrants in the Turkish labor market every year, he said, giving the country the technological competitive advantage and contributing to their education was one of the responsibilities of the newly established foundation.
