Women who established foundations in Cyprus
Did you know that it was women who established the first foundations in Cyprus? There are foundations established by hundreds of women…
In terms of education of these foundations; We understand from the stipulated records in the documents that it was established to provide scholarships to poor students, purchase of clothes, paper notebooks, salary support to teachers, lighting, cleaning, maintenance and repair of the places where they study.
Foundation founded by Hacce Ayşe Hanım
Donated Property:
1 House: (2 floors, upper floor 4 rooms + wc, lower floor 3 rooms + wc)
1 Garden (garden with pool with fruit and fruitless trees)
+ 5000 kuruş main capital cash (as of 1885, this money will be used for the foundation by making use of its profits, under the conditions of the same foundation) + 1 Mains Water right (½ tube)
Nicosia Arabahmet District, Şerabioğlu Sk. In the specification of the foundation, the foundations of which were laid on September 25, 1885,
"The income of the donated house should be distributed equally to the students of HAMİDİYE MADRESS after the expenses and repairs".
We can say that the fact that many students have been educated with this foundation for years, and even today, with the income of these properties, the Cyprus Foundations Administration's ability to provide scholarships to our youth in the field of education and to support the development of educational institutions is a reflection of that unique foundation civilization today.
What a beautiful charity.. We commemorate Hacce Ayşe Hanım (OUR DEAR GRANDMA) with gratitude
