Hope Café

Many families of children diagnosed with cancer live in different regions of Turkey and leave their current jobs to get treatment in İstanbul. Hope Café opened its doors for families who have difficulties finding a temporary or permanent job in İstanbul, meeting the needs of treatment and providing for their families back in their hometown. Hope Café serves as a traveling café and employs mothers who stay in KAÇUV Family Houses. Hope Café serves snacks prepared by the mothers and travels to a different point in İstanbul every day.

The first Hope Café opened its doors in 2017 with the support of Ford Otosan. After the great interest it received, the second Hope Café is getting ready to hit the road in 2020 with the help of the UPS Foundation.

Hope Café visited 50 different locations including 4 universities, 2 shopping malls, 2 congresses, 2 public spaces, and 40 corporate companies. It traveled a total of 5,857 km and served 8543 foods and 15,472 beverages. A total of ₺12,840 financial support was provided to 32 mothers staying in our Family Houses.
