Türkiye is host to the largest number of refugees in the world with over 4 million Syrians under Temporary Protection, half of which are children. Türkiye is also home to a further 400,000 refugees and people seeking asylum, with the largest populations coming from Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran. For many refugees, meeting basic needs is a daily challenge. At least 1.8 million refugees in Türkiye are living below the poverty line, including 280,000 living in extreme poverty. Save the Children's work Türkiye is aimed at increasing access to learning and education, addressing child poverty (through livelihoods and income generation), strengthening child protection mechanisms, improving psychosocial wellbeing, and social cohesion and awareness raising. We partner with ministries, municipalities, partner organisations and local communities to identify and address pressing needs and implement our programmes. Save the Children believes every child deserves a future. In Türkiye and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children’s unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach. We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share.
