The Akbaraly Foundation develops projects based on the real needs of the beneficiaries, as we see them and experience them firsthand during our activities on the ground.
We integrate our concrete actions at ground level with the creation of public and private partnership and with advocacy and awareness-raising activities at an institutional level to increase and promote engagement.
