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.

One of our most important values is bridging the gap between the diaspora and the homeland. Through the use of various media, Shlama provides those in the diaspora with an in depth look at the lives of people living throughout the homeland.
