ABOUT US
HISTORY, MISSION, & VISION.
After the advancement of ISIS in 2014, most of Nineveh was emptied of the Assyrian Chaldean Syriac people for the first time in thousands of years. 12,970 homes, 363 churches and 140 public properties were destroyed. Today, most families who remained in the country have moved back to their villages. We are fully committed to supporting these families in rebuilding their lives.
One of our greatest values is partnerships with churches and other nonprofits. We believe that together, we can achieve more! We must all band together for greater impact in the long run.
MISSION: Shlama Foundation’s mission is to engage the diaspora to fund humanitarian aid and other community projects that will help the Assyrian Chaldean Syriac people live and prosper in their ancestral homeland.
VISION: We envision a thriving homeland for the Assyrian Chaldean Syriac people that is strongly connected to the diaspora through the act of giving.
