The Fehmi Yıldız Foundation, which carries on the vision of Yıldızlar Yatırım Holding’s founder Fehmi Yıldız to "leave lasting legacies for society," aims to provide children with healthier and more inclusive educational environments through significant nationwide projects.

The signing ceremony took place at the Kocaeli Governorate with the participation of Kocaeli Governor İlhami Aktaş, Provincial Director of National Education Ömer Akmanşen, and Yıldız Entegre Marketing Director Bengü Metin. The protocols formalized the projects, which will be implemented under the coordination of the Fehmi Yıldız Foundation in collaboration with Yıldız Entegre.

Floor Renovations of 80 Kindergartens with VarioClic Kids

Under the first protocol, a continuation of last year’s successfully completed project, the floors of 80 kindergartens in 9 districts of Kocaeli will be renovated with VarioClic Kids laminate flooring, designed for child safety. The project will be carried out in collaboration with the Kocaeli Provincial Directorate of National Education, Yıldız Entegre, and its Kocaeli dealer Santürk Yapı. As a result, thousands of young students will enjoy a safer, more hygienic, and colorful learning environment.

Under the second protocol signed at the ceremony, a special education kindergarten tailored to the needs of children with disabilities will be built in İzmit. Named the "Yıldız Entegre Special Education Kindergarten," the institution is planned to open in the 2025-2026 academic year. This lasting educational investment will also be realized under the leadership of the Fehmi Yıldız Foundation with contributions from Yıldız Entegre.
