Where we work
Mustafa Sabbagh
Chairman of the Board
At the Syrian Forum, our mission is to rebuild Syrian lives by cultivating active and capable communities from a cultural, political, economic, and social standpoint.
Driven by our devotion to Syria, we continue to expand our impact through six specialized institutions committed to restoring and developing infrastructure, training and employing future leaders, protecting and uplifting the most vulnerable, and so much more.
Our efforts have blossomed into strategic partnerships with nonprofit organizations, government institutions, and private enterprises. Now, in 2018, we are utilizing our resources to prepare for an exciting new program, a grand cultural festival that showcases Syria’s rich history and artistic traditions.
Through our work, we put our faith in the creativity, ingenuity, and resilience of the Syrian people. Despite immeasurable challenges, we continue to empower Syrian civil society and thus rebuild Syrian communities upon a foundation of justice and dignity for all.
Ghassan Hitto
Chief Executive Officer
We, at the Syrian Forum, provide more than temporary relief. We strive to empower Syrian communities through capacity building and longterm development.
Our diverse and comprehensive programs address the problems of today, while identifying sustainable solutions for the future, thereby safeguarding and strengthening the trust between Syrians and their institutions.
Through our strategic partnerships, we have expanded our vision and increased our impact. We have continued to offer valuable services to Syrians in need and equip them with the skills and resources necessary to develop their own institutions.
We are driven by our unwavering hope that one day, through empowered individuals, institutions, and local councils, we will realize a Syria of justice, peace, and equality. With this hope, we will continue to grow and improve, as we plant the seeds of freedom in our homeland.
