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
