Secondary Education Girls’ Dormitories

Despite the improvements made in access to basic education in Turkey, gender disparity at the secondary level remains a challenge. Expanding dormitory facilities for girls at the secondary school level has been the Foundation’s strategy to combat prevailing cultural and economic biases that prevent girls from continuing their schooling beyond the primary level. Since 2005, 26 dormitories have been constructed and donated to the Ministry of Education. These dormitories provide  5.000 girls each year with a quality housing opportunity and access to secondary education.
