Social Responsibility

Founded in 2016, the Seljuk Foundation for Individuals with Autism Education (SOBE) is currently Turkey's largest and most comprehensive center in the field of autism, located at 21,000 m². Headquartered in Konya's Selçuklu district, SOBE Foundation is currently working to bring more children with autism together with qualified education with its new training center in the Meram district and training classes in Hatay. The Foundation was granted Tax Exempt Foundation Status on February 2, 2022. In this way, it continues to develop its capacity as a civil society organization and to operate more effectively in the field it works in. Having been providing education to hundreds of individuals with autism every year since its establishment, SOBE Foundation is the best example of local government, university and non-governmental organization cooperation. SOBE Foundation is an institution that tries to fully implement the understanding of the Foundation in our civilization. The Foundation provides education and therapy scholarships to students who receive services from education and therapy programs. Many families with children with autism have difficulties in accessing behavioural education programs due to resource constraints. Due to the fact that behavioural training is mostly given individually to children, the number of experts trained in this field is very limited and the number of children with autism is increasing day by day, families cannot access effective interventions and this situation is the biggest obstacle to the independence of children in the following years. SOBE Foundation works for individuals with autism to be integrated into social life, able to meet their vital needs independently, productive, hopeful and creative individuals. With your individual or corporate donation campaign to this end, you can take steps for our children with autism with the SOBE Foundation's "Sustainable Education for Children with Autism" project at the Konya Half Marathon, which will be held for the second time on October 15, 2023. First of all, after registering for the Konya Half Marathon, you can create your campaign and offer your loved ones the opportunity to donate any amount they wish on your behalf. You can start your efforts to reach your targeted donation amount by sharing a text stating that the steps you will take in the marathon will give hope to the future of our SOBE students and the campaign link you have created with your loved ones. Your loved ones can donate by debit card and/or credit card to support your campaign.
