The article discusses the funds for orphans ( eytam sandıkları ) in the Danube Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire during the 1860s and 1870s. Information from Ottoman and Bulgarian sources—registers ( kondiki ) of Orthodox church boards, official Ottoman yearbooks ( salname ), the loan register of the fund for orphans in the town of Trân, and others—has been collected, statistically processed and analysed. The macro- and micro-level analysis is focused on the capital and administrators ( müdür ) of the funds for orphans, while we also discuss the interest rates that they charged. A comparison with another credit institution ( menafi-i umumiye sandıkları ) allows us to point to differences that are essential for understanding credit practices in the Ottoman Empire in the period under consideration
