Mission: Our goal is to inspire hope by developing practical occupational skills among the adults. With skills, individuals & groups can help each other and begin to earn money by selling services & crafts. Job skills bring income and hope for a stable future. Skills bring new confidence in individuals and families. Our remedy is simple, original and is making a difference. Practical job skills across a range of occupations, each with the potential to improve circumstances for the families now prepare them for the hoped-for return to their homes in Syria. We tap innate talent & skills & promote self-reliance & new enterprises within the camps. To know more visit us at https://www.walidsfund.org/our-story.html
