Engelleri Aşın Derneği Logosu

About Us

As Ender Association, we strive for an inclusive and solidarity-filled world where there are no barriers and everyone has equal opportunities.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support individuals in overcoming physical, social, economic, or cultural barriers that restrict their participation in society. We encourage equal opportunities, continuous learning, and social awareness through our projects. By supporting the development of each individual in line with their interests and competencies, we aim for a society where everyone can make a meaningful contribution to a fair and inclusive future.

Our Vision

As Engelleri AŞIN (Overcome Barriers) Association, we do not limit the concept of disability to only physical limitations; we evaluate every situation that prevents individuals from realizing their potential, such as language insufficiency, economic difficulties, and social exclusion, within this scope. Our vision is to create an inclusive society where every individual — especially disabled individuals — can fully and actively participate in social life. We aim for young people to adopt values of volunteering, empathy, and solidarity while empowering them personally and professionally.
