Run For Education

Ahmet Uysal… TEGV’s volunteer and inspiring donor. . .his voice was heard throughout Turkey as the first Turk to run in a marathon at the North Pole. Uysal ran the marathon to raise funds for the TEGV Pervari Educational Unit, and ended up raising enough money to support 1600 children with qualified educational support, an amount that far exceeded his goal. Now he is back with us with a new and exciting project!

Ahmet Uysal will run from one end of Turkey to the other to fulfill our children’s dreams of education. He will traverse all of Anatolia from Artvin to Mugla in 46 days. He will share new stories and memories that will shine with TEGV’s educational flame. At the same time he will call on his social media followers to donate so that our children can access the education they need. Uysal’s aim is for 5,000 children to get qualified educational support as a result of this earnest, sincere, and tiring project.
You too can use this site to support Ahmet Uysal’s charitable world and add your steps to his!

North Pole Marathon &
Pervari Visit

Uysal had sent word through his social media account that he is going to run to raise funds for 1 year of TEGV’s educational activities in Pervari. His aim was to pay for one year’s educational activities for 800 children at the foundation’s Pervari unit. With this marathon, at which he earned the accolade ‘first Turk to run at the North Pole’, he raised a total of 181,000 Turkish Liras, enough for not one but two years of education.

Afterward, he met with our children while visiting the Siirt Pervari Educational Unit!
