The Children of Hope Foundation, founded by Yusuf Kulca, provide kids on the street with food, shelter and much more. In the major Turkish city of Istanbul, many homeless children were neglected by the government, until Yusuf Kulca came along. Although there is much work to be done, Yusuf has created a greater tolerance for the children, and encouraged many other Turkish people to help.
Megan Iskander set up the Care with Love foundation in 2003. Basically, Megan and her team set up houses to train personnel to provide healthcare to the people of the community. The workers go through a 4 month training course. The workers that go to Iskander's courses are from all walks of life, and some even deemed un-employable by other people.
Th Children of Hope foundation is a great idea. With help these children who might have died on the streets actually have a chance to do something with their lives.
