Daruşşafaka Society provides quality education for underprivileged children in Turkey

The Darüşşafaka Society, one of Türkiye’s first non-governmental organizations in the field of education, provides quality educational opportunities to talented children from low-income families who have lost their father and/or mother. 

Since 1863, the mission of this society has been to provide “Equal Opportunities in Education” by supporting thousands of children so that they can study at Darüşşafaka Educational Institutions and receive scholarships for their higher education. 

Today, more than 1,000 students, selected from across Türkiye by means of an entrance exam, have the opportunity to receive an equal education at the Darüşşafaka educational centers in Maslak, Istanbul. 

Here, students benefit from high-quality education that prioritizes language learning, boosts their confidence, builds their learning skills, and gives them social and cultural tools. 

The Darüşşafaka Society makes all this possible thanks to the support of individual and corporate donors, as well as contributions from its partners in various projects. Fundación MAPFRE has been collaborating with this institution for decades to promote English language education among students, enabling them to broaden their social environment and offering them the opportunity to improve their professional careers.
