“Human Welfare Foundation Orphan Care Department aims to provide sustainable, permanent, and solution-orientated social welfare for orphan children. We are also planning to organise activities including social responsibility projects and awareness-raising campaigns in order to earmark problems orphans face to inform international public opinion. To offer our orphans positive life changes, to assist them in becoming mentally and physically healthy individuals and to prepare them for the future are our main aims. We see that improving the situations and standards of the orphanages around the country is the main condition in order to reach that objective,” said Mishab Irikkur, Assistant Manager, Orphan Care Department of Human Welfare Foundation.
