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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Blossom Hill seeks passionate, committed individuals with innovative ideas about how to improve the lives of war-affected children from the Middle East.
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.
Congratulations to Fayez on his full scholarship to the University of British Columbia in Canada! Based in Syria, he excelled in Blossom Hill Fellow George Batah's online high school prep class and one-year college coaching program, leading to this incredible opportunity. Fayez will be joining 3 other program alumni (now mentors) in Vancouver. He is an active member of the UNDP Tanaghom Program - an initiative aiming to spread peace through music. He plays the Oud, participates in debate, and tutors in math. He also received a perfect score on his Baccalaureate exams last year. Bravo, Fayez!

In Amman, Jordan, Blossom Hill's taekwondo program empowers young girls like Hiba, a 17-year-old refugee from Iraq, to embrace self-confidence and resilience. Hiba reflects on her experience:
"When I joined the program, I discovered it was incredibly enjoyable. I had the chance to connect with many wonderful people, which was truly enriching. I also gained valuable self-defense skills, and, most importantly, I learned that girls should never hesitate to stand up for themselves."
