About us
ARAMEA Foundation
Our vision
The Aramea Foundation believes in a Syria in which everyone plays a part. We believe in a Syria that cares for the vulnerable, including all, rich or poor, of whatever ethnicity or religious faith and their background. As one of the leading organizations helping Syrian refugees, we recognize that healing requires unity. We care about the Levant’s rich and diverse heritage and will work to enhance the unity of Syria so that although differences are respected, Syria will never be divided.
Most particularly, we feel there is an acute need to go beyond forgiving in post-conflict Syria to build a society in which the terrible wounds of war are healed. Through Syria grassroots campaigns and long-term reconciliation efforts, we strive to address this essential issue. If this means forgiving enemies, then let enemies forgive them. It may be that a truth and reconciliation process is the only way to achieve this. We believe in Syria, where the four great freedoms at the heart of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are nurtured, specifically, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and, perhaps most importantly, freedom from fear. This vision fuels all Aramea Foundation projects and guides our Syria food and shelter programs that aim to protect the most vulnerable.
Our Mission Statement
The Aramea Foundation is an independent, non-profit, non-partisan research institution based in London. The Aramea Foundation’s mission is rooted in serving humanity through both policy engagement and humanitarian aid. As part of our Aramea Foundation research, we contribute thought leadership and practical strategies that help guide recovery for Syria and the Middle East as a whole as the region, with its rich heritage, moves out of conflict and into a new tomorrow.
We seek to empower the Syrian people, those forced into exile through no fault of their own, those working and studying overseas, and indeed, those still at home in Syria who hope to rebuild their country and aspire to a better tomorrow. One of our key objectives in this post-conflict era will be to help those who have been displaced as IDPs or refugees to at last return home. We call on global citizens to make an online donation for Syrian refugees, support our Syria charity fundraising campaign, and consider making an Aramea Foundation donation. Whether you wish to contribute financially or volunteer with the Aramea Foundation, your support brings us closer to a future of dignity, hope, and lasting peace. Every NGO donation for Syria helps turn this vision into reality.
