Mission Statement

Karam Foundation has been working in Antakya for 10 years serving Syrian refugees in the community. We are actively distributing aid right now.

About This Cause

The news out of Hatay is dire. The NYT has released drone footage of Antakya. The death toll is rising and now at 20,000. We are getting messages from people searching for their loved ones under the rubble. There's barely any assistance available. Today was full of action. The incredible Karam team on the ground began to distribute basic needs on the ground. Our team are heroes who have just been through this extremely traumatic event and are now tirelessly serving others. What we are doing now: - Food kits distributed to 350 families in need in Reyhanli - Hot meals distributed to people in need - Evacuation plans to bus people out of Antakya tomorrow - Delivering blankets, bread, hygiene items, medication from Istanbul to Hatay - arriving tomorrow Action Items for you: - Continue to share the fundraiser with your networks — it's working, we have received several media requests and matching donations. Our friend Chelsea Handler is fundraising for us on The Daily Show - Share our social media posts @karam_foundation on Instagram Despite the despair, I took a moment today to recognize the blessing to be in service of others. Thank you again for fueling our work.
