Make adifference
The Mattar Foundation helps people help themselves. This means that Mattar does not provide emergency aid. Mattar initiates projects that allow poor displaced persons from northern Syria to structurally improve their lives. These are mainly employment projects. Nevertheless, we are now going to rebuild an entire village. We are doing this together with our partner in Syria, Molham Volunteering Team, and the villagers of the village in question who have returned from the tent camps in northern Syria. Our board is looking for candidates for our board.
