Suna’nın Kızları was established in 2021 under the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation by İpek Kıraç, with the aim of sustaining and advancing Suna Kıraç’s values, goals, and vision in the field of education.
Focusing on the needs of girls aged 0–18 who grow up with limited access to services that support their development, we work to ensure that all children—especially girls—can be emotionally and physically well, continue learning without interruption, have time to play and rest, live free from pressure, and make decisions about their own lives.
To achieve these goals, we aim to contribute to the creation of an ecosystem that provides girls with access to learning opportunities that respond to their developmental needs and enable them to complete this journey with the greatest benefit. We build circles that drive systemic change. These circles of Suna’nın Kızları work to ensure that all piloted and scaled models are implemented in ways that address the unique needs of girls and support the development of both girls and boys.
