Our Founder

In Loving Memory of Deniz Yildirim

(31 March 1992 – 22 October 2023)

Deniz Yildirim

Deniz Yildirim was born on March 31, 1992, at 1:30 a.m. in the district hospital of Ludwigsburg, Germany. Together with her twin sister Havva, she came into this world by caesarean section — Deniz weighing only 1650 grams, and Havva 1930 grams. From the very beginning, Deniz showed strength, resilience, and a quiet determination — qualities that would later define her life’s work.

Deniz dedicated herself to helping others. Driven by compassion and a deep sense of justice, she initiated a grassroots aid project aimed at supporting underserved communities. Her first and most heartfelt initiative was the construction of a mosque in Uganda — a project she supported with love, commitment, and hope. This mosque became not just a place of worship, but a symbol of connection, dignity, and belonging for the local community.

On October 22, 2023, Deniz passed away unexpectedly. In the wake of this deep loss, her family and friends came together to honor her legacy in the most meaningful way possible: by continuing what she had started.

Out of her original project, our NGO was born. Based in Uganda and founded in her name, this organization stands as a living tribute to her passion, her kindness, and her belief that even the smallest act of care can create lasting change. Everything we do carries her spirit forward — with every step, every smile, every life we touch.
