The Türkiye Diyanet Foundation (TDV) provided copies of the Quran as part of its “Let My Gift Be the Quran” project in Senegal.
A ceremony for the project was held at the Dakar Islamic Institute in the capital Dakar, attended by Türkiye’s Ambassador to Dakar Nur Sağman, the head of Integration of Islamic Affairs and Arabic Education Graduates Djim Drame, the Religious Affairs and Social Services Counselor of the Dakar Embassy Faruk Uslu, and Senegalese officials.
In her speech, Ambassador Sağman highlighted the excellent status of Türkiye-Senegal relations across all fields, noting that collaboration, especially in social affairs, is growing steadily.
Sağman emphasized that TDV is one of Türkiye’s most prominent foundations, providing aid to those in need in many countries through various initiatives. She expressed her happiness that copies of the Quran and religious books distributed by TDV as part of the “Let My Gift Be the Quran” project have also reached Senegal.
Uslu, the Religious Affairs and Social Services counselor of the Dakar Embassy reminded attendees that TDV faces a high demand for Qurans both domestically and internationally.
As part of the project, Uslu noted that over 2 million copies of the Quran have been distributed in 91 countries, 42 languages and dialects.
