What Does TÜRGEV Do?

Knowing that education is a universal power, TÜRGEV strives to prepare our children strongly for the future; adopting as its principle to raise self-confident, conscious, and entrepreneurial young people who know their history and goals well, research, question, learn, produce, can keep pace with a developing Türkiye, contribute to the construction of the new Türkiye, and have a say in international platforms in the global world where balances are shifting, all while being aware of their roots.


Who Does TÜRGEV Serve?

TÜRGEV serves secondary and higher education students in 60 dormitories located in 32 provinces. In Türkiye’s first Montessori school, Palet Kindergarten, it meets students at the very beginning of their educational journey. Later, when we welcome our students into secondary and higher education dormitories, we do not only support their commute to and from school. We continue TÜRGEV’s support through the education we provide within the dormitories.

In 2015, TÜRGEV expanded its claim of being involved in all areas of education by establishing Ibn Haldun University, which was founded as a social sciences university. Our aim is for children who start their school life in Palet by asking questions, experiencing life, and producing their own questions at the kindergarten level to continue their higher education with the same perspective at the university level.

Through our EDEP project, we guide students from the undergraduate level to the post-doctoral level; providing both English and Arabic education to bring them to a level where they can give conferences and write articles in these languages, enabling them to take an important step in their academic journey. By educating them in the fields of Islamic Sciences and Social Sciences, we aim to ensure they grow into “two-winged” scholars. While raising our students in this way, it is also our motto to support them not only in their work within Türkiye but also in their studies abroad.

Together with the Ensar Foundation, we established the TURKEN Foundation to support them while continuing their education abroad. We provide them with accommodation in the United States and the United Kingdom, holding their hands and continuing to stand by our students.

TÜRGEV’s first and most important mission is to support youth and education.
