The Syrian Kids Foundation is a Canadian charity that aims to offer humanitarian relief and social services to Syrian refugees from all different backgrounds, sects and religions. The services include free education, psychological counseling, dentistry, social relief, recreational activities, and essential subsidies — as well as regular free workshops on family and crisis counseling by volunteer psychologists. Al Salam School is our flagship program and the most important achievement of the Foundation.

Our Foundation aims to rebuild trust, self-worth, compassion, and open-mindedness in Syrian refugee children. We are committed to using constructive educational techniques that foster critical thinking and the courage to act on principles and give children the opportunity to reach their full potential.

With the rising number of Syrian civilians fleeing to neighboring countries in search for safety and shelter, there is a growing number of children lacking basic needs and access to education — but most significantly lacking hope for the future. 3.6 million Syrian refugees are in Turkey in 2020; 1.6 million of them are children of school age. The children suffer from trauma and serious psychological consequences as a result of exposure to violence and loss of loved ones.
