Charitable Work
Candemir has worked on behalf of UNICEF and United Nations Population Fund.
In 2005 UNICEF partnered with Milli Egitim Bakanligi (Turkish Ministry of National Education) to launch “Haydi Kizlar Okula” campaign which aimed to increase the equality in the education system by helping girls between ages of 6-14 to attend school. During the campaign “Gural Porselen” began to sell specially designed mugs to raise funds for the campaign. Koray Candemir provided his support to the campaign with his photos appearing on the mugs to attract more sales.
In April 2007 United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) launched their “Staying Alive + Me (named Bir Genclik Hikayesi)” in Turkey with the help of their sponsors, MTV Turkey and Levi's. As this campaign targeted educating teens about safe sex practices, they opted to choose Koray Candemir as the celebrity spokesperson for the campaign. Candemir still actively participates to “Bir Genclik Hikayesi” by attending workshops visiting universities and recording TV spots to raise awareness.

Famous quotes containing the words charitable and/or work:
“Whensoever any affliction assails me, me thinks I have the keyes of my prison in mine owne hand, and no remedy presents it selfe so soone to my heart, as mine own sword. Often meditation of this hath wonne me to a charitable interpretation of their action, who dy so: and provoked me a little to watch and exagitate their reasons, which pronounce so peremptory judgements upon them.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
“Just as a chemist “isolates” a substance from contaminations that distort his view of its nature and effects, so the work of art purifies significant appearance. It presents abstract themes in their generality, but not reduced to diagrams.”
—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)
