The war in Syria has been going on for six years now. The civilians were harmed most in this conflict. According to the official numbers over 400.000 people died while 1.5 million people in around twenty areas have no access to relief aid. Especially women and elderly face high risk of death while trying to survive in remote parts.

To this end the foundation has made several collaborations with different institutions in an effort to deliver hope and aid to the victims of war.
