About

We are a registered charity working to bring creative projects to Syrian refugee children living in hardship outside of Syria. Make Foundation was inspired by the song Just Want Home written by Naia Alkhouri when she was 10 years old.

OUR STORY

WHAT WE DO

We run educational and community projects that encourage a deeper understanding of the refugee experience and promote empathy through stories from those who have lived that experience. We work collaboratively with schools, artists, musicians, Syrians from a refugee background and others to device group-specific projects.
