Hands Up Foundation is now Action Syria

Hope, fragility – and the road ahead.

A flexible, transparent way to give to support Syrians as they rebuild.

Syria has entered a new chapter

The fall of the Assad regime in December 2024 marked a significant moment for Syrian communities, bringing renewed hope after 14 years of conflict and displacement. Syria is now in a complex and fragile period of transition, and the road to recovery is long and uncertain. 

Yet, Syrians are rebuilding. Civil society is stepping up. And, Action Syria is working alongside local organisations to help communities get the aid and support they need. 

Since the fall of the regime, we’ve been laying the groundwork — scoping new partners, building trusted relationships, and listening to communities to identify the most pressing priorities on the ground. 

In 2025, we launched two new programmes with locally-led organisations in Syria, while continuing to fund our longstanding partners delivering vital education and medical services. 

These partnerships reflect our commitment to a collaborative and community-led approach, taking the lead from our local partners who understand the needs of their communities best. 

As the situation evolves, our ability to act — and adapt — depends on support from people like you.
