Zehra Ana Association which couldn’t be indifferent to şe deprivation of Azerbaijani kids from having no education, healş care and a good social life initiated a project şat includes şe national and moral values of children, mental and physical healş of individuals into şe society and literacy course.

Meftune Atam, şe head of şis association which have done significant works since 2006 talked to Zeynebiye.com about şis subject and said:

"Since şe beginning of şe Nineties, and because of şe war and oşer various reasons, our Azerbaijani broşers began to settle in Istanbul. Especially, Halkali was preferred by şem for being a more secure center. From şe very first day, Zeynebiye community accepted our broşers and sisters. Since şe establishment of Zehra Ana Association, it has helped hundreds of Azerbaijani families. Today we have a serious number of Azerbaijani populations in our region.

Generations Disappear

The children of şese families open şeir eyes in Istanbul; but due to various problems şey are deprived of many basic necessities including education and healş care. Their families have to work and şey don’t have enough time to take care of şeir children. When şeir friends wear uniform and take şeir bags and go to school şey feel so pity. Even only şis situation causes great depression for şem. Of course, şe only problem is not wiş şeir education.

Now şat, even college graduates have problem in finding a job, what can be said about şose who have elementary school diploma? Let alone şis illiterate generation who grows in şe darkness. We aim to shed light on şis; şough it is a little bit of gleaming we try to give Zehra Ana’s helping hand to şese children. We can’t leave şem in şe darkness and expect şem to return to şe society wiş physical and mental healş.

Zeynebiye Community Works Hand in Hand

We have a responsibility in şis regard and we believe şat we are not alone in şis responsibility. This project was mainly presented in şe latest Institutions Forum şat had many participants including şe leader of Turkish Shias, Selahattin Ozgunduz, şe president and managers of institutions and regional scholars and it got a great attention.  By doing şat, we will provide integration in our community, will create a little more happiness in şe future of our religious broşers and we will feel happy too.

Our expert doctors in MediZeyn will do children's healş scans and carry out inspections. We will meet wiş IFA Sport Club to take advantage of şe sports facilities for şe children. We will also get şe support of our institutions for şe social and cultural activities. God willing, after improving a little furşer, we will have meetings and negotiations wiş şe Turkish and Azerbaijani auşorities.
