We are a non-profit organization on a mission to build a better future for Syria.

Syria’s announcement of a National Advanced Technology Track is welcome news for the future of education in the country.

At Karam, we see every day how much young Syrians can do when they have access to technology and hands-on learning. Through Karam Caravan and Karam Studios, students across Syria are learning new skills, exploring their ideas, and creating projects of their own.

We’ve learned a lot from doing this work, especially in communities where access to technology education has been limited for years.

We’re excited to see this become a national priority and hope these opportunities reach students in every part of Syria.

One last graduation video. 💙

To close out this series, we’re sharing a final look at Karam House’s last graduation in Turkiye — a day filled with pride, memories, and so many people who helped shape this journey.

This chapter may be closing, but the young people who grew through Karam House are carrying everything they built here with them into what comes next.

We’re so proud of every graduate, mentor, teacher, and friend who was part of this story.

Our graduation series continues

This time, we’re sharing a video created by our graduates themselves, made to capture this moment and share it with their fellow classmates.

One more piece of a graduation we’ll never forget.

Support Karam’s work and help us keep creating spaces where young people can learn, create, and lead.

Earlier this month, we celebrated the final Karam House graduation in Reyhanli.

Our graduating class walked across the stage, surrounded by family, friends, mentors, and a community that has grown alongside them for years.

It was a night of celebration and pride. As Karam House closes its doors in Turkiye at the end of this year, everything built inside continues: in the young people who found their voice, tested their ideas, built friendships, and discovered just how much they are capable of.

To our graduates, speakers, mentors, team, families, and everyone who filled Karam House with life over the years: thank you.

What began in Reyhanli continues in Syria.

Karam is heading to UNGA.

On September 22, Karam Foundation and the SYE Initiative will bring Syrian leaders, educators, funders, and international partners together in New York for Education for a New Syria: Learning, Opportunity, and the Future of a Nation. This conversation will explore what it will take to build an education system that expands access, strengthens quality, and creates meaningful pathways for learners at every age and stage.

We’re excited to bring Syria’s education priorities to UNGA and to be part of the conversations shaping the country’s future.

At Al Nahda School in Daret Ezzeh in Aleppo, these girls spent the summer learning photography, coding, and laser cutting. By the final day, they were showing their families projects they had imagined and made themselves.

This is what we want school to make possible. But before any of it can happen, the basics need to be there: working lights, safe desks, clean bathrooms, and classrooms that are ready for students.

Through our Back to School campaign, we’re preparing schools for thousands of students returning this fall. The first day is getting closer, and we still have work to finish.

Help us get it done in time for the students’ return. Link to donate in bio.

Our Back-to-School campaign is helping rehabilitate four schools in Aleppo before students return.

That means getting classrooms ready, restoring water and bathrooms, fixing lighting, providing heat, and helping schools stay powered.

There’s work to do before the first bell rings.

Our founder has just returned from her fourth trip to Syria since liberation. In this interview with , she shares what she experienced and her perspective on how the country is slowly returning to normal life after over 15 years of war. Tune in.

08/06/2026

Our founder and CEO, Lina Sergie, writes in TIME about returning to Syria and witnessing the quiet miracles of ordinary life, from children playing on former battlefields to Syrians speaking openly after decades of fear.

Her reflection holds both hope and grief, asking what it means to rebuild a country while its wounds are still present.

“The normal feels radical.”
