Why support Kardelen Mercy Teams?
The mission of Kardelen Mercy Teams is to empower children with special needs and their families to face the world with dignity and hope.
Kardelen Mercy Teams is based in Ankara, Turkey, home to 4.5 million people. Government estimates show that 17% of the population are affected by a disability.
The board of Kardelen Mercy Teams USA approves the annual budget and regularly reviews the financial management of the ministry. A third-party review of all income and expenses is done in Turkey.
Disabled children are often neglected, starved or placed in state-run orphanages. Our vision is to have every person affected by disability properly cared for in their own home with dignity and respect.
