Mission Statement

Darussafaka Society, the first non-governmental organization in Turkish history in the field of education, was founded in 1863 with the mission of providing ‘equal oppurtunity in education.’

About This Cause

Bright and talented children who have lost one of their parents and who have limited financial resources become eligible to study at Darüşşafaka after passing a competitive exam when they are ten years old, and Darüşşafaka provides them access to quality education at international standards. In its 162 years of existence, Darüşşafaka has maintained its position to be the only school in Turkey with specific mission of providing equality of opportunity in education. Today at Darüşşafaka, almost 1000 children from all over the country receive boarding co-education in English with a full scholarship from the 5th grade until high school graduation. Darüşşafaka’s entire operational budget is completely supported by donations and grants from philanthropic citizens, charitable institutions and corporations who believe in the mission of Darüşşafaka.
