The Karam Foundation is an aid organization which started in 2007 and focuses on helping those affected by the Syrian Civil War.
The Karam Foundation began as a food drive in the south side of Chicago, but after the Syrian Civil War started, they began focusing on helping Syrians.[1] They currently work across Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan with refugee families from the conflict.[2] Projects have included starting schools, sponsoring refugee families, supporting small refugee owned businesses, supplying families within Syria with food and other necessities, and more.[3]
Karam is Arabic for generosity.[1]
