HISTORY OF GABKUL FOUNDATION
| Everything began from the saying I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; I was naked, and you dressed me; I was ill, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me. "Mat 25:35-36", "Isaiah 58:7-11". |
Applying this to our neighbors and inspired by the fear of God, we first created:

All these initiatives were consolidated by trainings completed abroad and led to the creation of GABKUL FOUNDATION Inc in 1998; following our country’s repeated wars that placed a great number of inhabitants in poverty, and in the vulnerable state that the NGO is looking to relieve as much as possible. -
