About

GDD is a non-profit humanitarian and development organization that was established  in 2014 in Istanbul, Turkey under registration number 34-209-183. We  aim to meet the humanitarian and development needs of vulnerable and refugee around the world. We strive to do this  in accordance with international humanitarian principles and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as in line with the response and national development plans and ISO 9001:2015 standards. 

We conduct thorough research on the humanitarian situation in affected areas and release reports through an annual international press conference in multiple languages.

These plans are developed in coordination and partnership with local and donor organizations and are implemented quickly and efficiently.
