The Presidency of Religious Affairs and the Türkiye Diyanet Foundation have launched the "My Present Is Book" campaign to build our future through scientific initiatives and raise conscious generations. This initiative aims to assist those who wish to read but lack the means. Following the guidance of our faith, which emphasizes the importance of knowledge, we aim to create communities capable of differentiating between right and wrong, as stated in the verse: " “Are those equal, those who know and those who do not know? ”Al Zumar, 39/9
The Importance of Accessing Accurate Information
In this project's scope, we aim to provide access to reliable information by donating books to our brothers and sisters who lack financial means, with the support of our donors. By contributing to different book categories, we are distributing books through our 1,003 branches in 81 provinces across Türkiye and countries such as Africa, the Balkans, Asia, Latin America, the Caucasus, and Asia-Pacific.
Inspiring Everyone, From 7 to 70, to Embrace Reading
With our campaign aimed at promoting reading awareness and habits, we are delivering books to students studying in schools both domestically and abroad, Quran courses, nursing homes, prisons, women's shelters, and care homes. We also reach out to those who are newly acquainted with Islam and wish to learn about our religion in depth, as well as libraries, youth, cultural centers, NGOs, and needy individuals who want to read but lack the means. With books—one of the best gifts—we aim to spread goodness all over the world. Through our project, we continue our efforts so that everyone, from 7 to 70, reads books.
