OUR HISTORY

OUR HISTORY

The Foundation was established by the 2nd and 3rd generation members of the family to continue the charity and benevolence works, which were the most important ideal of the philanthropist businessman Hacı Mehmet Ali Eruslu who passed away in 1993, in a corporate structure and without interruption. Today, the Eruslu family, which generates significant added value and employment for the Turkish economy with its independent companies operating in strategic sectors such as plastics, chemical, textile, and health products, finances all the projects of the foundation entirely with their own equity resources.

Attracting attention with the works and projects it has implemented in many regions of Gaziantep, the Mehmet Ali Eruslu Education, Health, and Culture Foundation successfully keeps alive the culture of "endowment" (vakfetme)—one of the most important elements sustaining the Turkish-Islamic civilization—in the modern era. Adopting the principle of serving all segments of society, not just a specific group, the institution has built and offered to the public service numerous educational buildings, healthcare facilities, masjids, and mosques.

NAMESAKE OF THE FOUNDATION

Haci Mehmet Ali Eruslu

Haci Mehmet Ali Eruslu, the namesake of the foundation, was born in 1920 in the Dıştaki District, Tabakhane neighborhood of Gaziantep. After primary education, he entered commerce, starting from apprenticeship to mastery in the footwear industry, leading an industrial breakthrough by introducing factory-scale manufacturing to this sector. Having six sons, Haci Mehmet Ali Eruslu, together with his children, operated production facilities in various fields of industry.

Haci Mehmet Ali Eruslu, who adopted honesty as a principle in his professional and social life, embraced a simple lifestyle and remained devoted to his religious values. He passed away on July 28, 1993.

So stand firm as you have been commanded. (Surah Hud, Verse 112)

To protect low-income families and citizens from harsh winter conditions, we regularly distribute fuel coal, firewood, warm winter coats, boots, blankets, and thermal clothing. By delivering the winter needs of identified households in Gaziantep and surrounding provinces directly to their homes before winter sets in, we provide a warm home environment. We aim to support the lonely and alleviate winter hardships through solidarity.
