Basic mission
The Foundation sees its main mission in helping people in Syria endure the post-war sufferings and hardships, so that they can stay in their home country and contribute to its reconstruction.
Just like the disciples of Jesus were able to distribute bread to huge crowds, the Foundation’s basket of donations will hopefully never become empty, so that it can serve to provide quick, direct and efficient help to those in need.
