Who We Are

Syriac Cross Belgium AISBL is a humanitarian and development organization based in Brussels, Belgium. Established in 2017, the organization works to support vulnerable communities affected by conflict, displacement, poverty, and humanitarian crises across the Middle East.

Through cooperation with trusted local partners, Syriac Cross Belgium contributes to emergency relief, recovery efforts, and long-term development initiatives that strengthen resilience, improve living conditions, and create opportunities for sustainable growth.

Our work focuses on supporting communities in Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon, where years of conflict, economic instability, and social challenges continue to affect the lives of millions of people. We believe that effective assistance begins with strong local partnerships and community-driven solutions that respond to the actual needs and priorities of the people we serve.

Our Mission

To provide humanitarian assistance, support recovery efforts, and promote sustainable development for vulnerable communities through locally-driven and community-based initiatives.

Our Vision

A future where individuals and communities affected by crisis can live in safety, dignity, and hope, with access to opportunities that enable long-term stability and self-reliance.

What we do

We work across multiple sectors to address the diverse needs of vulnerable communities, from emergency relief to long-term sustainable development.

Health

Improving access to healthcare services, medicines, and essential medical support for vulnerable populations.

Educational support, vocational training, and community learning for sustainable development.

Women & Children

Our Approach

Why Local Partnerships Matter

Syriac Cross Belgium believes sustainable impact is achieved through strong local partnerships. Local organizations possess the knowledge, experience, community trust, and contextual understanding necessary to respond effectively to humanitarian and development challenges.

Through cooperation with trusted partners, assistance can reach communities that are often underserved, difficult to access, or overlooked by larger international actors. This approach promotes community ownership, sustainability, accountability, and long-term resilience.
