Hands Up Foundation is now Action Syria

We're Action Syria

At Action Syria, we work with local partners to make sure Syrian communities have the medical care and education they need, every day and when emergencies strike.

As Syria enters a new phase following the fall of the Assad regime, the humanitarian needs remain urgent, there is still much to do.

What we do

We’re a small, forward-thinking charity which believes in giving Syrians a hand up, not a handout. We're teaching 80 Syrian refugee children, and delivering prosthetics to amputees in north-west Syria. We are also working with our partners to assess how we can best respond in Syria’s new phase post the Assad regime. As Syria begins to rebuild, we’re here for as long as we’re needed.

Emergencies

We're ready to act quickly when emergency strikes, whether that’s an earthquake, disease outbreak or conflict.
