Saving Lives and Supporting Communities

We are a Syrian-led humanitarian group of over 3,000 men and women working to save lives and support communities in areas affected by the war in Syria. When bombs rain down, our volunteers rush to the scene of the attack to rescue trapped civilians and minimize further injury to people and damage to civilian infrastructure. In a place where public services no longer function, we provide essential services to a community of 4.5 million people. Our humanitarian programs focus on emergency services and community resilience.
