Peksimet Education and Culture Association is established as a non govermental organization after working for women and children for 5 years as an initiative. Peksimet villiage is located in Bodrum Peninsula where immigrants from Eastern part of Turkey are settled.
It's a closed society where women are not allowed to work. The rate of literacy is very low among women. On the other hand there is no school, no health center nor social facilities. Residents and students have to go nearby districts. We started as a children library then opened courses for women and children to help them to adapt to the new envoirement. The board members consist 5+5 people.We have 35 members mainly from the villiage. With the contributions in kind from Municipality of Bodrum and other ngo's we opened a pre-school and classes for women. We have donations from our members. and many activities for fund raising also.We have three projects at the moment: 16 week of mother-child education, 12 months pre school education between 3-6 yrs. and scholarship for university students who need support. Municipality of Bodrum provided us a building for our activities.
Our mission is to contribute to the social and cultural development of the less advantaged segment of society .
As indicated above, people coming from less developed cities to work here are confronted with many difficulties. To ensure the socio-cultural development of women and children in particular through education and social activities are our main objective.
