Our Values

Our Mission

Darülaceze's mission, established in 1895, continues to guide the institution today:

“To provide a life of dignity, security, and love for every person in need, regardless of their faith, identity, or age.”

Our Vision

We are building the future by drawing inspiration from the past.

Darülaceze is not only a care institution, but also an organization that represents the social conscience of Türkiye.

Our vision is to carry this heritage forward in line with the social, digital, and cultural realities of the 21st century and to promote models of care and living grounded in human dignity across Türkiye.

Within the framework of the 'Century of Türkiye' vision, our goal is to develop a pioneering system that:

• meets international standards in social services;

• promotes social inclusion and community participation;

• establishes a sustainable funding and volunteer engagement model;

• supports active participation in life through education, meaningful activity, and rehabilitation.

Our Basic Principles

• Dignity-Based Care
  For us, every individual deserves respect and compassion at every stage of life. Protecting and strengthening human dignity lies at the core of our services. Every service we provide in the fields of healthcare, care, and social support is designed to help individuals feel valued.
• Participatory and Transparent Governance
  Darülaceze adopts transparency and accountability as fundamental principles in its decision-making processes. We maintain open communication with our employees, volunteers, donors, and the individuals we serve, taking every step with a sense of responsibility toward society.
• A Community-Integrated Service Model
  We view Darülaceze not merely as an institution, but as an inseparable part of society. We deliver our services in close connection with the community, fostering meaningful relationships and responding directly to people's needs. Our social activities, joint projects, and local partnerships are the most tangible reflections of this approach.
• A Sustainable, Innovative, and Measurable Social Impact Approach
  We believe that our services should shape not only today, but also tomorrow. Therefore, we produce sustainable solutions, develop innovative methods, and aim for continuous improvement by measuring our social impacts. In this way, we create lasting value for society by using our resources in the most efficient manner.
• A Sustainable Support Model Built on Volunteering and Philanthropy
  Volunteering and philanthropy are central to Darülaceze's culture of solidarity. Our volunteers and donors strengthen the institution not only through financial contributions, but also through their time, commitment, and continued support. This sustainable model of community support helps Darülaceze create lasting social impact.
