President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, First Vice-President, First Lady... these are the main honorary titles of Mehriban khanim Aliyeva, and they are well known to every citizen of Azerbaijan, because through her good deeds she has become a support and pillar for so many people in difficult life situations. Like a true guardian angel, she has repeatedly come to the rescue to restore the health of those in need of emergency medical treatment, and has provided care and attention to the families of internally displaced persons, children left without parental care, and the families of martyrs who gave their lives for the restoration of the territorial integrity of their homeland. Among the people, one can often hear advice given to a person when they fail to find a solution to their vital problem: "Write a letter to Mehriban khanim, she will help, she has a heart of gold..."

For many years now, the Foundation led by Mehriban Khanim has been engaged in charity work and implementing large-scale projects in the fields of culture and healthcare, helping to restore shrines, and build and renovate educational institutions, as well as national and cultural centers. One could write and speak endlessly about the ultimate mission to which the life of this remarkably beautiful woman with a wonderful soul is dedicated. It is enough only to look at the high awards of international organizations bestowed upon Mehriban Aliyeva as the initiator and organizer of charitable campaigns and large-scale projects not only in Azerbaijan but also in many countries around the world, and it becomes clear what a powerful and at the same time kind impact the First Lady of Azerbaijan has on the world around us.

Virtually every event associated with her multifaceted activities is always aimed at building trust and respect for Azerbaijan, as well as protecting the culture and national traditions of her native country. As a diplomat of the highest rank, through developing contacts and cooperation with state and public figures, governmental and non-governmental organizations of various countries capable of supporting the restoration of justice regarding the rights of the Azerbaijani people to their national identity, history, traditions, and culture, the First Lady of Azerbaijan constantly launches initiatives that draw the attention of the global community to resolving various types of problems important to many nations. Participating in various international events and meetings during the foreign visits of President Ilham Aliyev, Mehriban khanim always helps promote truthful information about Azerbaijan, the ancient culture of the Azerbaijani people, and the modern development of the country within the international information space.
