Every child deserves a tomorrow worth showing up for.
Founded by actor Can Yaman, Can Yaman Foundation channels care into action — supporting vulnerable children, rushing relief to families hit by disaster, and building communities that can stand on their own two feet.
Three ways we show up
Every dollar goes toward one of these three pillars — the causes closest to Can's heart.
Children's Welfare
Education, nutrition, and safe spaces for kids who need a fair start in life.

Disaster Relief
Rapid emergency response — shelter, water, and medical care when it's needed most.
See Projects
Community Development
Clean water, job training, and infrastructure so communities can thrive long-term.
