Standing with our people.
Standing with all minorities.

We are Syrians from the Alawite community in the UK, united in the wake of the 7th March 2025 massacres to deliver humanitarian aid and raise awareness — for our families, and for every minority targeted for who they are.

Our Story

A community that refused to look away.

We are Syrians from the Alawite community living in the United Kingdom. On 7th March 2025, our families and communities in Syria were subjected to horrific massacres. In the aftermath, we united to take action.

We are now a registered not-for-profit organisation, No. 16910097. We exist to help our people back home — and other minority groups who have since become victims of similar atrocities. We raise awareness here in the UK and internationally, and we deliver humanitarian relief directly to victims and families affected by the violence.

This is a community response to a human crisis. We are all volunteers, standing with all minorities. We believe no one should be targeted for who they are, and no victim should be left without support.

Our Roots

The Syrian coast — a homeland worth remembering.

From the harbours of Latakia and Tartus to the green slopes of the coastal mountains, our families have lived along this shore for generations. Preserving this heritage — its landscapes, its people, its traditions — is part of standing with our community.

Our Mission

Aid for victims. Awareness for the forgotten.

To provide urgent humanitarian aid to victims of violence in Syria, and to raise awareness in the UK and internationally about the ongoing threats facing Alawites and other vulnerable minorities. We work to ensure that those affected are not forgotten — and that their dignity is upheld.

Our Values

What guides every action we take.

01

Humanity First

We serve all victims of violence without discrimination. While we formed in response to attacks on the Alawite community, our aim is to support any minority group facing persecution.

02

Non-Sectarian

We reject sectarian incitement in all forms, and we stand against the targeting of any group based on identity.

03

Transparency

As a volunteer-led organisation, we are committed to clear reporting on how funds are raised and spent. Every donation goes directly to support our humanitarian work.

04

Dignity & Solidarity

We believe aid must respect the dignity of those we help. We work alongside communities and we amplify their voices rather than speak for them.

05

Cultural Preservation & Truth

We work to raise awareness of the culture and traditions of Syria's coastal communities, and to educate the public about the historical and ongoing injustices faced by Alawites through research and documented facts.

No one should be targeted for who they are. No victim should be left without support.

Our founding principle

Children playing on the coast

Solidarity Hand in hand.
Children together
Hope A childhood worth protecting.

Who We Serve

For the children. For their families. For their future.

Behind every statistic is a child who lost a parent, a mother who lost her home, a village that lost its sense of safety. Our work begins with the most vulnerable — providing food, shelter, medical aid, and the dignity of being seen.

We stand with the children of the coast, and with every minority child whose name might otherwise be forgotten.
