Sabanci Foundation's "Turkey's Changemakers" TV program shares inspiring stories of individuals who make a difference in social and economic development

 

The fifth episode of the program on 1 November tells the story of Itir Erhart from Istanbul. In 2007, Itir founded "Step by Step" as a running club which raises money for NGOs. The philosophy of "Step by Step" is that each individual has a responsibility in promoting social development and it is the whole of these contributions which raises the quality of life for all. They are very serious about their selection process and to date, have raised funds for the Turkish Education Volunteers Foundation, Community Development Volunteers Foundation and the Turkish Foundation for Spinal Injuries.

Erhart's work in promoting civic participation has mobilized 3400 people to make donations through "Step by Step", reaching 300.000 youth, children and persons with disabilities.
