In the shadow of the Syrian conflict generating millions of displaced people, education provision for Syrian children
has become one of the biggest challenges for Turkey. This paper sheds light on the role and rationale of faith-based
humanitarian organizations in education provision for Syrian children in Turkey based on the interviews conducted
with representatives of humanitarian organizations. The paper presents the wider socio-political context of Turkey to
analyze the motivations of the Islamic humanitarian sector in exercising education facilities for a linguistically and
culturally different population. In that context, this paper attempts to contribute to the fledgling literature on
education as a humanitarian response from an institutional perspective.
