The aim of our association is to carry out comprehensive humanitarian aid activities for individuals and communities who are struggling with economic difficulties, have been affected by disasters and emergencies, or are at risk of such situations. We aim to contribute to the provision and maintenance of basic living conditions such as shelter, food aid, hygienic living conditions, clean water supply, and waste management. In addition, the Focus association aims to identify the challenges faced by the community and develop innovative solutions to these challenges; it targets increasing social awareness and supporting the socio-cultural integration of individuals through scientific research, educational, and social programs.
In this regard, by organizing events that bring together relevant individuals and institutions on various platforms such as conferences, congresses, symposiums, seminars, fairs, panels, exhibitions, concerts, meetings, and scientific research, it aims to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experience with all segments of society.
The association also aims to conduct scientific research related to its areas of work, develop and implement social-based plans and projects, and establish project-based partnerships. By conducting written, oral, and visual media studies, creating content, and publishing it, the association seeks to reach a broader audience and enhance its impact.
