About us
Who we are
Action Syria is a young, innovative charity which was set up by four British friends. Inspired by our time in Damascus, we want to remind our friends in Syria that they have not been forgotten. Action Syria is registered in England & Wales, and raises money and awareness through creative fundraising.
What we do; the mission
We believe in giving Syrians a hand up not a hand out and in the dignity gained by empowering local Syrian communities. We put our confidence in Syrian expertise to run local projects, nimbly delivering aid to wherever it is needed most. Working with local partners, we provide solutions to health and education issues facing Syrian communities inside Syria and other countries where they now find themselves. These projects are designed to be sustainable, providing employment for Syrian professionals and vital services.
We believe in a positive, creative approach to raising funds and awareness, with Syrian stories as the focus. We act as a trusted conduit between donors and projects, in a volatile part of the world that would, otherwise, never meet.
