Driving through the darkness of Syria, holding hope

Even on the darkest roads, families are finding a way forward.

Imagine driving down a road at night in Syria.
Most streetlights are out. The phone lines have fallen silent.
All you see is a narrow stretch of pavement illuminated by your headlights—and the small faces in the backseat depending on you to keep going.
For many Syrian women, this is daily life. They carry their children through the uncertainty of war, searching for safety where violence once defined every corner.
But there is hope.

With your support, Search for Common Ground is opening safe spaces for women and helping children return to school, even in the regions most torn by conflict. We’re making sure that those long drives through the dark end in places of protection and belonging.

And now, your generosity can light the way even further. A $40,000 match from a generous donor will double every gift, helping twice as many families find safety and peace.

Your gift supports:

  • Trauma-informed programs for mothers processing unspeakable loss
  • Youth taking on active roles in governance and decision-making for a peaceful and democratic Syria
  • Community networks that help families rebuild connections when everything else has been destroyed

Give now, and your compassion will reach twice as far to help families light their way forward.

The road ahead is still difficult. But together, we can ensure these communities are not driving alone.
Your gift can help light their way forward.
Every donation brings protection, education, and the possibility of peace for families who won’t give up.
