Orange Organization was established in 2016 and registered in Turkey with legal registration under the number 27-019-146 to support developing Syrian NGOs and CSOs working in the humanitarian sector to enhance their capacities in supporting the communities they serve. Recently, Orange has expanded to provide support for Syrian communities during the crisis in food security and livelihoods, early recovery, protection, emergency, women empowerment, and a significant contribution in the education access and quality sector in NW Syria, Olive Branch, and Euphrates Shield with two main offices and six sub-offices in addition to projects centers.
Orange now has more than 170 full-time staff in both Turkey and Syria. Orange is operating in Turkey (Gaziantep, Hatay, Kilis, Sanliurfa, Mersin, Osmaniyeh, Nizip, and Kahramanmarash).
Orange aspires to achieve this mission and vision through response programming in different sectors of operations, including Education, Food Security and Agriculture, Protection, Early Recovery and Livelihoods, Health, Nutrition, WASH, Shelter, Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), and Civil Society Capacity Development sectors.1
Values and Principles
We believe that:
One of the most effective ways to achieve lasting, transformational change is through local solutions – created in direct partnership with the people themselves, which deepens impact and promotes empowerment. We believe in an integrated approach that tackles problems causing suffering to populations from all angles through measurable and effective methods. This should be carried out through empowering people by building their ability to live a decent life, earn a dignified living, and benefit from the sustainable use and management of the resources available to them. We also believe that people should be the center of our values and, therefore, any programming should be based on an effective partnership, which leads to trust- the foundation of change. Thus, we do not only focus on change in itself but hold a firm belief that how change is achieved is as important as the change itself.
