What LOSEV - Losemili Çocuklar Saglık ve Egitim Vakfı does

LÖSEV (Losemili Çocuklar Saglık ve Egitim Vakfı / The Foundation for Children with Leukemia) is a non-governmental, non-profit charitable foundation (vakıf) established in 1998 in Ankara, Türkiye by pediatric hematologist-oncologist Dr. Üstün Ezer. Its mission is to provide comprehensive, integrated support to children with leukemia and cancer and their families — combining medical treatment, education, housing, nutrition, and psychosocial services — at a time when childhood leukemia survival in Türkiye was below 20% and affected children faced social exclusion. LÖSEV operates a fully integrated service ecosystem through wholly-owned subsidiaries: the LÖSANTE Hospital in İncek (Ankara) and the Özel Şadiye-Yaşar Cimilli LÖSANTE Tıp Merkezi in Istanbul provide specialized oncology care; the LÖSEV Village in İncek provides residential accommodation for families during treatment; LSV Eğitim Kurumları delivers schooling; the LSV Shop functions as a social enterprise; and the Cancer Research Institute pursues clinical research, including discussion of CAR-T therapy, CRISPR gene editing, and genomic mapping. A wholly-owned IT subsidiary, LÖSEV Bilgi Teknolojileri Ticaret A.Ş., is based at Bilkent Cyberpark.

The foundation reports a 94% childhood leukemia treatment success rate in its model and serves thousands of children and families across Türkiye. Geographic reach covers all major Turkish regions through 16+ offices spanning Ankara (HQ), Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya, Adana, Bursa, Çanakkale, Denizli, Diyarbakır, Erzincan, Erzurum, Eskişehir, Gaziantep, Kayseri, Konya, and Samsun. LÖSEV has 1,133 employees and is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by the founder, with a General Coordinator (Hülya Ünver) overseeing operations. The foundation holds KVKK data-protection compliance and donations are tax-deductible under Turkish law.

Revenue is generated entirely through charitable contributions across multiple streams: individual donations via the website (monthly recurring tiers of ₺100/200/500/1000 and one-time gifts), Ramadan and Eid al-Adha Qurbani campaigns supporting the Happy Meat Project, corporate partnerships through the Corporate Ambassador program, volunteer-driven fundraising events (the International Week for Children with Leukemia, TEDx events, the LÖSEV–LÖSANTE International Cancer Symposium), and LSV Shop product sales. The go-to-market model is community-led and event-driven, with digital engagement through Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Telegram, and the losev.org.tr website supplemented by national events and survivor "Stories of Hope" content. Customers served include beneficiary children with leukemia/cancer and their families (vertical), individual donors, and corporate partners (horizontal).
