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 41st Istanbul Marathon. This was the fifth time for us to run in a fundraising marathon.
On 3rd of November, including donors, students, teachers, graduates, volunters 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 marathon campaign/charity walk was to support the yearly education expenses of 122 students who study at Darussafaka Schools and we reached our goal, thanks to our supporters.
Between 21 October - 18 November, every voulunteer invited their friends and relatives to support Darussafaka Society by making donations in their names.
With this hard work of 995 runners and their supporters, we have received a donation of 2.167.795 TL! Darussafaka broke a record in the 41st Istanbul Marathon.
The running team of Darussafaka High School also run 15 km for their brothers and sisters raised 17.385 TL.
We have crossed the Bosporus Bridge with the feeling of unity, shouting out for a bright future of the students in Darussafaka High School.
Thank you!
Best
Darussafaka Society
