OUR MISSION Karam Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people help themselves. We seek to restore the dignity and quality of life for people affected by conflict by eliminating barriers to success through innovative education, sustainable development, and community-driven aid. Guided by the aspirations of the people we serve, we pursue this mission with compassion, transparency, and generosity. THE KARAM STORY Karam Foundation was founded in the summer of 2007 in Chicago –a small non-profit organization determined to do big things. Our vision was to give what was needed to those who needed it, anywhere around the world. Nine years ago we started with a food drive in the south side of Chicago. Today, Karam’s impact expands across Syria, Turkey, and the US.
