In Çankaya, our community is demonstrating the power of solidarity through a heartwarming collaboration between the Çankaya Municipality and the Association of Military Attaches' Wives (AMACS). This initiative, focused on providing vital support to the families of recycling workers, exemplifies the spirit of giving that defines our city. The second phase of this aid project has successfully delivered essential goods, carefully selected based on the needs of the recipients.

Led by figures like Ben Dana Elena Piticari, wife of the Romanian Defense Attaché and AMACS Co-Chair, and Eva Schaffner, wife of the Swiss Defense Attaché and AMACS Co-Chair, the project ensures that aid reaches those who need it most. The delivered packages, tailored for children aged 1 to 17, include winter clothing, coats, boots, and hygiene supplies for mothers. This thoughtful approach ensures that the support provided is both comprehensive and directly addresses the daily challenges faced by these families.

The packages were prepared considering the needs of children between the ages of 1 and 17.

This project is a shining example of international cooperation for a social cause. AMACS, through its fundraising efforts like bazaars, channels its resources to support vulnerable populations in Çankaya via the municipality. The upcoming phases promise further enhancements, including the establishment of a computer room at the Çankaya Municipality's Youth Center with the donation of computers and a printer. This initiative, which began with Ramadan packages distributed to women's shelters and low-income families, continues to expand its reach and impact, fostering a stronger, more supportive community for all.

Through the support provided, comprehensive assistance has been provided to facilitate the daily lives of both children and families.
