Translation: Orkun Nazim Kadioglu Review: Yunus ASIK

Today, especially in education, childhood cancer, violence against women,

because of the disappearance of our forests, to street animals, to homosexual rights

uncomfortable to all the living conditions of refugees

we face many problems.

This is a list of sad stories for each problem title I have enumerated

even if it is for a few minutes

I can draw your attention to these problems.

For example, the tragic story of the Aylan baby, which we all remember very closely

about the troubles the refugees face

it can provide your thought.

Then what?

What do you do to change this picture that annoys you?

Or, in the last month,

or what did we do to solve an environmental problem?

Sometimes it does not come from nothing, so we’re not superman.

How can we solve bigger problems than ourselves?

Such is the time to feel sorry for the victims of the problem,

maybe a few social media sharing to take care of the probing,

ultimately, “Where is this state?” saying that the state authorities

inviting relativism, that is, probabilistic stays can be a general form of behavior.

But in developed countries this is not the case,

solution of all kinds of environmental and social problems in developed countries

the state is not expected.

People who are disturbed by the problem come together

they form civil society organizations that will form the solution mechanism.

Other people are also

they are supporting NGOs.

For example, donation is a common solution.

In the world of individual donation habits

you see the top eleven countries.

You are in Turkey kaçıncı on such a list?

Turkey held every year “World Humanitarian Index” based on

in the order of the individuals’ donation habits to NGOs

It ranks 112th among 135 countries.

Two out of every hundred people in Turkey only on religious or

donates to an NGO for non-religious reasons.

You have seen my back with a wide range of religious beliefs

in other countries this rate varies between 66% and 91%.

So contrary to what you might think

Religion has nothing to do with donating culture.

But this picture shows us,

we feel sorry for the problems we face as a society

We do not go far beyond complaining.

Unfortunately for us to solve the problems that interest us, we are not common to solve.

Of course, why the Turkish people do not donate has been researched.

According to the research;

5% of non-donors do not already recognize CSOs.

13% do not trust these institutions,

Of course, some of the bad experiences that happened in the past have a big effect on this.

26% says I can help myself if I see someone with a need.

But most of the non-donors – if the earth is a large slice of 52%

the aid amount is small, indicating that he has not made a donation to an NGO.

So these people either do not change anything small amounts

or that small amounts will not be accepted by NGOs.

On the other hand, even with small amounts,

a method for this mass has been in our lives for many years: Donation pigeons.

We are all accustomed to seeing you near the shops in the shops

transparent donor pyramids.

It is a structure that is very simple and is suitable for making donations with tiny corporations.

For example, for a T-shirt we bought for 19.99 TL,

this will be over money “1 kuruş”.

How important is it to you?

If we see the place, are we leaning?

I think we all spent that 1 cent on that donation piggy for a good cause.

Of course, if we were able to hold this 1 cent really.

When was the last time you donated money to a donation piggy bank?

I really do not remember.

Because some things have changed recently.

For example, plastic cards have entered my life.

Great ease of use of your bank and credit cards

we now spend almost no cash on our expenses.

On top of that, when we go shopping online

our pigeon-throwers are no longer in the middle

or the pigeons themselves.

But we still believe that tiny corporations can make big changes.

Small pennies can accumulate to create large sums.

Even more important, in a society that makes almost no donations

such an easy user experience can be the first step for these people.

That is why we have established “Yuvarla” social enterprise

old donor pigeons that we hardly use

we have come up with new payment habits

and we recently integrated it into our e-commerce sites.

I will give an example if they have not used yet.

You’ve entered an e-commerce site, you have a favorite shirt

you put it in your shopping cart, when you come to the payment page,

Roll over the digital donation piggy tells you:

Donating only 1 cent to your shopping amount of $ 56.99

Would you like to roll to $ 57?

All you have to do is choose a non-governmental organization.

For example, if you say pre-school education is an important issue in Turkey

You can choose to UNICEF Turkey,

in this case the amount of 56.99 TL is rounded to 57 TL.

If you press the button to complete the order anda your shirt is your brand

hundred percent of your donation

directly to the bank account of the NGO you chose.

“Roll” from any donations

or does not get commission.

When you look at your credit card extras

you can safely go to your donation.

Extremely simple and transparent method.

This scenario you have seen has rolled up to now

in accordance with financial accountability criteria,

so you can declare where you use your donation and of course

for 14 NGOs with the necessary legal permissions

more than half a million online shopping transactions have been made.

Of course you can say:

The donation amounts are really small.

What would have changed the hundreds of thousands of people by rolling their odd amounts?

For example:

23 out of every 100 people rounding off their odds,

he forgave his people for a better environment and a living planet.

While our forests are gradually decreasing day by day, only TEMA Foundation

16 soccer fields with donated small pennies

An area of ​​size was wooded.

So these tiny pennies were breathing to us.

19 of the 100 roundabouts are disaster and humanitarian aid

NGOs operating in the field.

Each year, over 300 search and rescue operations, AKUT,

he only financed 10 operations with these tiny spots.

Perhaps a snowmobile taken with your pennies,

in the winter of Bingöl,

you raised a pregnant woman to the hospital and you saved a life.

26 out of every 100 people are educated, children and youth

NGOs operating in the field.

Koruncuk -that Turkey donations made Vulnerable Children- Foundation,

because they are not a family or because of a special reason

a warm home for children who have to catch up and a good education is transformed.

In Bolluca Children’s Village, which was founded by the Koruncuk Foundation

of the 128 living children have illuminated the future of the future of 4.

32 out of every 100 people supported NGOs operating in the health field.

These donations, which we can not get a gum with a face,

For Cancer Children Umut Foundation

accumulating a source above 110.000 TL

that is, there were exactly 20 cancer patients and hope for the family.

These are examples of our tiny preferences in everyday life

only a small part of the big changes we can make.

Together we can do more than that.

It is not only in e-commerce sites that Yuvarla’s agreement is now;

on the street, in the neighborhood, from the grocery store to the restaurant, benzinciden eczaneye

rounding up your frustrated expenses everywhere cards go by

so you can only partner with your pennies.

Okay, I’ll do this, I’ll be there too

It is very easy to do what you need to do.

Select the NGO you want to support by entering Yuvarla.com address,

if you do not know if you will be asked by you every time you spend your frustrated expenses

within an upper limit of 3 TL per month

choose whether to auto-roll

and add your card to the system, it takes up to 2 minutes.

After that, you do not have to do anything.

While you keep your daily life, for example, if you buy a coffee for TL 8.90

if you do not prefer automatic roll

your phone may receive a notification.

And now instead of just complaining, you just press the confirmation key with your finger

You can be a partner to solve with 10 cents.

With this new digital donkey gaming model, you now have the potential for tiny bucks

It is much bigger than your old one.

By way of example,

Turkey has actively used in 81 million debit and credit cards.

Only last year, more than 4.4 billion cards were spent with these cards.

What do you think you could change by rolling a few of these?

I would even give an example:

If we accept only 1 TL donation per month with each card we have

for the solution of social and environmental problems

we can create a source of 972 Million TL each year.

I’m talking about a source of about 1 billion TL with Kuruslar.

What do you do with that …

Behind you see the Belgrade Forest.

The lungs that allow Istanbul to breathe comfortably …

With this resource, created only by tiny corporations,

We can plant an area as large as 13 Belgrade Forests.

Thirteen new forests each year make you feel very welcome.

Or, who introduced me to NGOs,

when I was a volunteer teacher in college

Let me remind you of the Turkey Education Volunteers Foundation’s motto.

“A child changes, the world changes.”

Every year with this resource we have created with tiny values

More than 800 children can get a better education.

Here I’m talking about almost a generation will be the future of Turkey.

800 thousand children …

Could it be a better investment than just being able to do with a penny?

I do not think so.

This is not a dream I’m talking about.

If we are not the problems of the navigator,

dreams become real if we start to become partners in solutions!

All we have to do is choose “change”.

Just like the ones rolling

as you did.

They ask me why you are doing the roll, what is the story.

I think a story I’ve had in the past

they are waiting for you to say that you push this way.

I do not have a dramatic story to tell.

But I can say that you are in the middle of your living room

What do you do if you see a garbage?

I think you’ll bend it.

Actually, you can not take it, it’s a preference.

I believe that it can be solved in this society with its own living room

I met a problem, my preference was the beginning of this story.

You too, your own preferences, yourself or

you can make beautiful stories for others.

Thank you!

(Applause)
