We are not driven by grand ambitions to operate as a global NGO or engage in mass distribution of aid packages, there are hundreds if not thousands in those fields. We extend our support with our own resources and the assistance of concerned individuals, reaching out to those in dire need, especially during challenging times and under difficult circumstances. We tried many experiences, approaches to help, sometimes it worked, sometimes not. While we've undertaken numerous initiatives, as you've witnessed along those pages, we approach our work with humility and compassion, guided by our hearts in priority, this is a modest work but which makes it’s own difference. We are trying the best we can at least.

With war and economic sanctions gripping the region, even the simplest necessities become a desperate struggle. People are left fighting for their very survival. We understand the vastness of the need, and while our resources are limited, we strive to do our small part. We focus on facilitating access to basic healthcare, medical supplies, and medication for those most affected. Our work may be a drop in the ocean, but for those we reach, it can mean the difference between desperation and hope, between life and death.

Times are tough. Even the most basic needs are out of reach for many. We come together as neighbors to offer a helping hand. Facilitating access to basic healthcare, medical supplies, and medication. Also, we collect what we can – winter supplies, blankets, warm clothes, and school supplies – and distribute them to families and children who are struggling. Our resources may be limited, and we can't reach everyone in need... but for those we can assist, it makes a difference, no matter how small. We listen to their needs and try to figure out how to make it happen. Everyone needs help, needs are so huge, but we believe every little bit counts. Even a small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life. With open hearts and helping hands, one family at a time.

For example, apart from the war, the earthquake that hit Syria earlier this year felt like a heavy blow to everyone there. Thousands lost loved ones, and many were left with nothing but the clothes they wore. The northwest, already struggling from the war, was especially affected. Homes crumbled, families were torn apart, and people just trying to survive had to start again from scratch.

We felt helpless seeing their fear and worry about basic necessities. We didn't have grand solutions, but we couldn't just watch. So, we started small, helping people here and there with repairs to their houses or rent payments with the help of local generosity. We brought food and essentials to those living in tents, afraid to return to their damaged homes. It wasn't much, just a small way to offer a helping hand in a time of immense need.

Sell, not beg. A starting step for a better cohesion and future.  

Many children in Aleppo find themselves on the streets, either selling small goods or begging. These children, often driven by poverty, family situations, or even exploitation, deserve a chance to break free from this cycle. Our program offers a positive alternative to begging or working on the streets. We identify these children and invite them to participate in regular workshops (2-3 times a month). These workshops are designed to empower them, foster learning, and provide them with a sense of belonging.

A Humble and Human Commitment to the Elderly. Far from any pretense, our actions are rooted in a simple and sincere desire: to be there for those in need, especially the elderly who feel alone or isolated.

It is through encounters, conversations, and shared moments that we forge precious bonds, offering a little of our time, our listening ears, and our human warmth. Whether in their homes, during organized activities, or in hospitals, we strive to create spaces of support and companionship. Discussion groups, creative workshops, games, outings... all these initiatives aim to break the isolation, stimulate the mind and body, and above all, create moments of joy and sharing.

Attentive and benevolent listening is at the heart of our approach. We are there to listen to their stories, their concerns, their dreams, and their hopes. Simply being present, without judgment, and offering a space where everyone can express themselves freely.

Sometimes, a simple smile, an outstretched hand, or a silent presence can speak volumes. It is in these simple and authentic gestures that the essence of our commitment lies.

Words cannot fully capture the essence of our motivation. Our commitment stems from a deep and unconditional love for humanity. The journey is not always easy. Doubts, obstacles, and barriers arise along the way. But when we witness the positive impact we have on countless lives, we find the strength to persevere. Hope is our driving force.

Our reward lies in the smile of a child, the gratitude of a rescued family, the flicker of hope, love in the eyes of a despairing individual. It is the transformation of lives, one by one, that confirms the essentiality of our mission.

We seek neither recognition nor applause. Our sole satisfaction lies in knowing that we are making a difference, no matter how small.

It is with love and determination that we continue our journey, guided by the conviction that every gesture, every action, no matter how insignificant, can contribute to building a more just and compassionate world.
