VIEW FULL LIST OF PROGRAMS
We fund programs, projects or products that aim to positively impact the lives of communities (children, youth, families, etc.) affected by conflict and war in the Middle East.
TECHNOLOGY
Refugee children live under unusual and difficult conditions with little or no access to technology that can improve their lives. With our innovative programs, we are reaching a wide range of children with groundbreaking technology that teach them literacy skills and improve their access to higher education.
EDUCATION
Millions of refugee children are missing out on an education. Without an opportunity to learn, they risk becoming a lost generation with little chance for a better future. Through sustainable programs, our Fellows are working to ensure refugees can learn and develop the skills they need to succeed in life.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT
The development of the "whole child" from early childhood through adolescence is critical to long-term development and success of all children. Blossom Hill is committed to providing innovative initiatives for refugee children that will not only prepare them for learning and academic success, but empower them with life skills as they continue to live under difficult conditions.
JOB TRAINING
For refugee youth whose education has been interrupted and ability to earn a livelihood undermined by war and conflict, the future is bleak. We are dedicated to empowering these youth to break from the cycle of poverty by offering innovative vocational training in computer skills, business entrepreneurship and language instruction.
BECOME A FELLOW
Blossom Hill seeks passionate, committed individuals with innovative ideas about how to improve the lives of war-affected children from the Middle East.
BECOME A FISCAL SPONSOR
A Fiscal sponsor must be a U.S. registered 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization. Fiscal sponsors will be required to agree to manage and disburse funds to the Fellow according to the terms of the project.

📚 We're pleased to welcome Alessandra Gass and Urtina Sejdaj, two seniors from New Canaan High School, who are joining us as interns at Blossom Hill.
These dedicated interns are making a real impact by developing a bilingual pre-K curriculum specifically designed for refugee children affected by war, who often need to learn in informal educational settings. Their work will help create vital learning opportunities for some of our most vulnerable young learners.
Beyond curriculum development, Urtina and Alessandra are also helping us organize our storage operations, enhance our website, and support our upcoming auction efforts. Their energy, creativity, and commitment to our mission is truly inspiring!
When Music Speaks Where Words Cannot

When Music Speaks Where Words Cannot 
Inside Greece's Temporary Accommodation Facility, two young lives are being transformed through melody.
Ten-year-old Ayham from Palestine holds his violin with a quiet confidence that belies his journey. When he plays, his entire being transforms—shoulders straighten, focus sharpens, expression opens. The label "refugee" fades; he becomes simply a musician, an artist, a child allowed to dream.
Nearby, eight-year-old Amani from Syria beams as she describes learning viola. "Playing with the other kids," she says, is what brings her the most joy. In a place marked by uncertainty, music has become her bridge to belonging.
Children from Syria, Afghanistan and Palestine sit side by side, their different languages giving way to the universal language of music. The instruments become vessels through which grief finds expression, memories resurface, and unexpected joy blossoms.
This is what healing looks like—not in statistics, but in the faces of children rediscovering their voices.
