UNICEF Türkiye and Chery Türkiye Partner to Advance Education for Every Child

Istanbul, 3 April 2026– UNICEF Türkiye and Chery Türkiye are extending their collaboration to support education initiatives for children and young people across Türkiye. This renewed engagement builds on previous phases of cooperation under the broader global partnership between UNICEF and Chery and further strengthens ongoing efforts to advance education in several countries.

In Türkiye, the collaboration aligns with ongoing education initiatives implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of National Education. The partnership contributes to national efforts to enhance inclusive and quality learning opportunities for children at different stages of their education journey.

Through its contribution to UNICEF’s Education Thematic Programme, Chery Türkiye supports key initiatives in early learning, basic education, and skills development. This engagement complements public investment and reinforces UNICEF Türkiye’s longstanding cooperation with the Government of Türkiye to promote equitable access to education.

The collaboration also highlights the added value of UNICEF’s partnerships with the private sector. By combining UNICEF’s technical expertise and long-standing cooperation with national institutions with the private sector’s resources and reach, such engagement contributes to strengthening ongoing education efforts and expanding access to quality learning opportunities for children.

UNICEF Türkiye Representative Paolo Marchi said: “Every child should have access to inclusive and quality education. Chery Türkiye’s contribution helps strengthen learning opportunities for children and young people across Türkiye. When aligned with national priorities, private‑sector partnerships can reinforce systems and support long‑term progress for every child[i].

Ahu Turan, Founding Senior Vice President of Chery Türkiye, commented on the collaboration: “From the perspective of Chery’s brand vision, we believe that a company should not only operate in a market, but also become a genuine part of the society in which it operates. Guided by our philosophy of ‘to be present in a place, to exist for that place, and to belong to it,’ and through our ‘Chery Family Care’ service approach, we aim to respond to the needs of our users and their families at every touchpoint. Chery Türkiye strives to be a responsible and caring member of the community. Supporting children’s education reflects our commitment to building a brighter future. We are honored to collaborate with UNICEF Türkiye to help empower the next generation. As a brand, we will continue to move forward in alignment with the needs and development of the country.”
