Takaful Al-sham

Who We Are

Origins and Evolution

Takaful Al Sham was founded in 2012 by a group of 5 friends and volunteers who couldn’t bare seeing their country being destroyed and their people suffering in despair.

They decided to make a difference and dedicate their efforts to humanity. It is the crisis in Syria, which has resulted in millions of severely affected people and refugees losing everything, where hundreds of thousands of children continue to suffer from violence, displacement and ignorance.

It was the fear of the dark future for the coming generations, which had this group of 5 go from a community humanitarian initiative to a large scale humanitarian organization.

The will of a team with a mutual vision led Takaful Al Sham down the road of wanting to create a better and safer future for children and youth, in addition, to relieve crises-affected populations and implement sustainable projects guided by the people’s basic needs and the principles of humanitarian relief.

In 2013, Takaful Al Sham became a registered organization in Turkey under the license number: 27-016-179.
