Darussafaka Society

As the first NGO in the country, providing quality education to the talented children who have lost one of their parents and have limited financial resources, Darussafaka Society participated  in the 38th Istanbul Marathon.

This was the second time for us to run in a fundraising marathon. On 13th of November, including stundents, teachers, members of the alumni, volunteers and stuff of the fundraising and communication units, we met early in the morning to walk/run with the mission of "equal opportunity in education".

The total goal of the marathon campaign / charity walk was to support the yearly education expenses of 48 students who gained admission to Darüssafaka this year and we achieved 60% of target, thanks to our supporters. 

This year we became partners with Adim Adim (Step by Step), a volunteer-based organization that promotes charitable giving through sponsorship of athletes in local sports events, to increase the awareness of the charity runs and to get in touch with more people. We also participated to the work outs of Adim Adim to introduce Darussafak Society to as many runners as possible.

Between October 27- November 13, every volunteer invited their friends and relatives to support Darusafaka Society by making donations in their names.

With this hard work of 460 volunteers and their big hearted supporters, we have received a donation of 408.000 TL! The running team of Darussafaka High School also run for their brothers and sisters and  raised 10.000 TL.

We have crossed the Bosphorus Bridge with the feeling of unity, shouting out for a bright future of the students in Darussafaka High School.

If you wish, you can be a part of Darussafaka family by supporting us! 

Thank you! 

Best,

Darussafaka Society

The Model United Nations Conference organized by Darussafaka Schools MUN Club was held for the fourth time. 350 students from 21 different schools around Turkey participated in the conference and they wrote some resolutions bringing solutions to world-wide problems.

MUN is a simulation where high school and university students assume the roles of United Nations representatives, governments and civil society organizations and discuss the current issues. In MUN, participants use academic knowledge and language skills. It also provides intercultural interaction and fosters the sharing of ideas. It enables students to represent different views isolating themselves from individual thoughts and so improves their perspective of the world.

One of the most prestigious clubs in Darussafaka Schools, Darussafaka MUN Club has welcomed 350 students all over Turkey from 21 different countries, between October 13-16, 2016.  

Darussafaka Model United Nations Conference organized by Darüssafaka MUN Club was held at Darussafaka Maslak Campus.

The Conference was able to continue to increase the number of participant schools as well as individual participants. The Conference continues to grow each year by 50 percent compared to last year.

Nearly 55 student delegates participated in “The United Nations Political Committee", discussing, debating and trying to find common solutions to problems of terrorism.

About 60 students participated in “The United Nations International Security and Disarmament Committee" and focused on international security and the negative atmosphere created by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. This issue was taken up in the context of the official United Nations Procedure.

Students were so excited to be part of this international event, and passionate about finding solutions and alternatives to the general social, political and economic problems of the world. 

We, as the Darussafaka Society, are so proud to see such successful students in our school. 

If you wish, you can be part of this journey by supporting Darussafaka.
