This campaign will collect all funds raised by June 17, 2018 at 3:45 AM EDT

We provide more than emergency relief. We uplift thousands of Syrian families through job placement services, training programs, and more.



We all know the story. We have all seen the images and videos of widespread destruction, pain and agony. 


We need action. 


We are doing something about it and want YOU to help us do more of it. 


We are helping families who have lost the source of their livelihoods to rise from the ashes and get a new start. 


We have built a system, a working system. All we need now is to fuel it. While we provide direct relief to thousands of Syrians who are in dire need of food and shelter, our system is designed to maximize the support and optimize your contributions. How? We train and find employment for heads of families who are breadwinners so that their families are not just helped one day but every day. 


We help Syrians help themselves. Today and every day. And THOUSANDS of families have been helped. Thousands more are suffering.



Abdul Wahab's Story

Abdul Wahab had just returned home when the airstrike began. It was not the first time his community, a small town just north of Homs, had faced a brutal attack by the Syrian regime. Before Abdul Wahab could find shelter, a bomb exploded in the street, seriously injuring him and partially destroying his home—reducing treasured belongings and precious memories to ashes.


As a young man living in Syria, Abdul Wahab had endured one injustice after another—forced displacement, indiscriminate violence, and imminent arrest. To many, Abdul Wahab’s future seemed hopeless. But not to us.


Through Syrian Forum’s education and empowerment programs, Abdul Wahab began to rebuild his life. He joined our Youth Support Center in Homs, where he participated in psychosocial support sessions, completed English and computer classes, and developed new skills to restore and rebuild his community. Now, he is ready for job placement.


During the holy month of Ramadan, you can help us empower thousands of others like Abdul Wahab.
