Syria Homes
Reviving Homes in Syria
The war in Syria has surpassed 11 years. We founded our work in Syria by serving isolated communities through networks of Syrian Scholars alongside Turkish Government registered NGO’s, directing us to highly vulnerable refugee camps and providing emergency aid.
We soon realised the inexhaustible demand for emergency aid was never ending. After large emergency aid distributions there was still a feeling of only scratching the surface of need. So this begged the question to the people of Syria – What do YOU want?
Not in an ideal world, but in the real world, Syrian refugees told us they want to return home, to rebuild their lives and revive their hearts. This set our hearts on a dream of rebuilding Syria, a land at the centre of the heart of all Muslims! This dream became an intention, sealed with a prayer.
The answer to that prayer is now the project in motion that you are reading today. We are now rebuilding Syria 100 homes at a time! Let’s revive the hearts of those same refugees who told us that what they really want is to stop simply surviving and start living again! What they want is their rights to their future. Will you help them to revive their beloved homeland? Will you be the answer to the prayers of Syrian Refugees, 100 families at a time?

The Land
Location: Al-Bab. North Syria. 40km from Haleb.
Donated to the people of Syria by the Turkish Government. The land remains under the protection of the Turkish government, ensuring long-term safety and sustainability of the project for a safe home for Syrian residents for generations to come.
The land is connected via main infrastructure networks, enabling the city to grow and flourish.
The land is surrounded by agricultural fields in order to support self-sustainability and job opportunities in order for their micro-economy to stabilise and flourish.

Fulfil Medical Needs of the Community
11 years of military bombardment, chemical weapons, devastation and crimes against humanity has left communities in Syria broken and with a wealth of medical needs. Majority of hospitals during the war in Syria were reduced to rubble, meaning that a suffering community is unable to meet their medical needs and begin the road to recovery.
Build a Primary Healthcare Unit to Include:
- Gynaecology Clinic
- Paediatric Clinic
- Physiotherapy Clinic
- Radiography Clinic
- Dental Clinic
- Laboratory
- Pharmacy

Your Questions Answered
Have you ever heard the phrase “if something seems too good to be true, it probably is”? Our team of construction experts and Scholars visited existing projects who build homes for a lower cost. Unfortunately our experts witnessed a poor quality of build for the lower price. Our team interviewed refugees living in these homes who cried “we were better off in the tents because we could fix leaks, how can we fix water which leaks through a ceiling or a floor which becomes flooded?”.
Part of giving Sadaqah is to want for your brother what you want for yourself. Would you buy a home for your family which leaks water each time rains? No – so why would you donate this for another family who have already been through so much? Therefore Revive is committed to building quality sustainable homes which will last for future generations to thrive in, rather than quickly building cheap unsuitable homes which only adds to their trauma.
The land has been donated to the project by the Turkish Government, therefore there is no cost of the land included.
Yes – some of these homes will be built from combined donations. Donate as much as you can afford and gain a share in the reward for housing Syrian refugees!
The village Revive is building is the 3rd project of the team we are partnering with to build them. Although these are the first homes from Revive, the team building them are highly experienced and our experts and Scholars have witnessed quality of build. The images you see on this page are from the previous village built.
The priority is firstly to build homes alongside ensuring all residents have safe water and sanitation. Secondly, is establishing the Masjid, medical facility and schools. the reason for this order is that there is no benefit in building a Masjid until there is a community of residents to fill it, otherwise it stands empty whilst refugees are still homeless.
The land we are building on has been donated to Syrian refugees by the Turkish government. Therefore it is safe and protected by the Turkish Authorities.
This project is Sadaqah and Zakat eligible, in accordance with Hanafi Fiqh using the Wakeel model. Zakat responsibility is transferred to Zakat-eligible refugees who then instruct the organisation to build them a home with the Zakat.
The monthly donation allows you to spread the cost of the home you are donating as the project is being built. As with all construction projects, there are stages to the build, it doesn’t happen overnight! Spreading the cost allows you to build a home for a Syrian refugee at an affordable rate. Should you decide to complete your donation at an earlier date you are welcome to do so!
