What ANDA Eğitim Araştırma Yardımlaşma ve Arama Kurtarma Derneği does

ANDA Eğitim Araştırma Yardımlaşma ve Arama Kurtarma Derneği is a Turkish non-profit humanitarian association founded in 2014 in Ankara, operating under Public Benefit Association status granted by the Republic of Turkey on 02.11.2022 (decision No. 6357). The organization delivers a broad portfolio of services spanning disaster response (accredited search and rescue teams with K9 units, mobile soup kitchens, mobile health units, logistics warehouses), humanitarian aid (food packages, winter aid, emergency relief for Gaza, Sudan, Afghanistan), orphan and education support (Yetim ve Kültür Merkezi, sponsorship programs), psycho-social support, and youth engagement via the Genç ANDA program. Its core operational technology is a network of 11 representative offices across Turkey, supplemented by mobile assets (Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu Mobile Soup Kitchen, Vefa Tırı aid trucks) and field logistics warehouses, with AFAD accreditation for search and rescue capability.

The organization is funded entirely through charitable donations from individuals and institutions, accepted via bank transfer (Ziraat Bankası), an online donation portal (bagis.anda.org.tr), SMS short-code (BAĞIŞ to 6526), and recurring campaigns tied to religious calendars (Ramadan Fitre/Zekat, Qurban/Adak) and humanitarian crises. Pricing follows a unit-donation model with micro-tickets ranging from 130 ₺ (Fitre) to 2,500 ₺ (Gaza emergency package). The go-to-market is a hybrid of direct-to-consumer fundraising through owned digital channels (website, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, WhatsApp), event-driven campaigns (Ramadan distributions, NADMEX Disaster Management Summit), and institutional partnerships with AFAD, UMKE, Turkish Red Crescent, and municipal authorities. Its customer/beneficiary base spans disaster victims in Turkey, refugee populations in Gaza/Sudan/Afghanistan, Turkmen communities in Iraq and Syria, and orphaned children across multiple geographies, with active operations documented in 11 countries across 3 continents.

Direct peers

• Beşir Derneği: Turkish humanitarian NGO providing food aid, winter assistance, orphan sponsorship, and emergency relief. Highly comparable in program mix and Turkish donor base.
• IHH İnsani Yardım Vakfı: Major Turkish humanitarian foundation operating search and rescue, food aid, orphan sponsorship, and crisis relief across similar geographies (Gaza, Africa, Syria, Asia). Closest direct peer in terms of program mix and Turkish-Muslim donor base.
• AKUT Search and Rescue Association: Volunteer-based Turkish search and rescue organization accredited under the same AFAD framework as ANDA. Comparable in SAR focus, volunteer-driven model, and disaster response deployments.
• Hayrat Vakfı: Turkish faith-inspired humanitarian foundation delivering food aid, orphan care, and international relief. Highly comparable in program structure and donor demographic.

Broad incumbents

• Diyanet Vakfı (Türkiye Diyanet İşleri Vakfı): State-affiliated foundation conducting large-scale humanitarian aid, Kurban/Adak campaigns, and international operations. Overlaps with ANDA in religiously-framed giving and global footprint.
• AFAD (Afet ve Acil Durum Yönetimi Başkanlığı): Government disaster authority that accredits and co-deploys with ANDA's SAR teams. Functions as both a partner and an incumbent coordinator of Turkey's emergency response ecosystem.
