Nadir-X is a social responsibility project aimed at raising awareness about rare diseases and supporting children who face bullying or social isolation due to their conditions. This initiative seeks to educate the public about these diseases and to reassure affected children that they are not alone. The project includes creating a comic book series highlighting children with rare diseases’ strengths, not deficiencies, and using various communication channels to convey their stories.
The Nadir-X comic series provides information about rare diseases and allows readers to witness the unique qualities, strength, and resilience of children with these conditions.
In 2023, the ‘Bakırköy Nadir-X Hero Search’ project was a resounding success, involving 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-grade students. It successfully distributed the Nadir-X comic to over 6,000 children across 20 primary schools through the Bakırköy District National Education Directorate. This project also facilitated a meaningful competition where students illustrated their rare heroes, supported peers with rare diseases, and inspired more involvement and support for similar initiatives.
