Aziz Nesin Foundation, Çatalca
In 1972 the Aziz Nesin Foundation was brought into being by the atheist Turkish writer Aziz Nesin in order to enable children in need of to get a proper personal and professional education.

At this point of time the foundation, which has its headquarters in Çatalca, Istanbul, takes care of 34 children; the younger ones living on the site of the Foundation visiting public schools, while while the older ones live in apartments rented by the Foundation, and study at the University. The principles of education were explained by Aziz Nesin in his book The fear of fear. The focal point is that every human being should be able to take responsibility for her-/himself and that freedom is the basic precondition to achieve this goal. It is planned to establish a elementary school by the Foundation, and besides, a Museum is envisioned to take care of Aziz Nesin's life's work. At this time the foundation is by and by publishing the posthumous work of Aziz Nesin. The money that comes out of his printed work is, by the way, covering most of the costs of the Foundation.
