Our Projects

We believe it is time for all organizations working to benefit Syrians and Syrian civil society to collaborate, share resources and exponentially grow the collective impact. To that end, we select projects aligned with our mission, and run them in collaboration with implementing organizations enabling us to focus on outreach, fundraising and impact analysis to ensure we can scale our effort
