Our foundation has no ties with any community, ideological movement or political party. Our foundation has the characteristics of the foundation institution of Islam and is an independent institution established within the Turkish legal system.

The purpose of our foundation is to provide aid to all people in need, wherever they are, whether they are hungry or exposed. While doing this, we also play a preventive role against human rights violations, wars, occupations and similar situations that put people in need. People from all segments of the society are among the members and donors of IHH.
