“The Syria Fund provided its Board of Directors with copies of the organization's 2017 financial statements, descriptions of program activities, and a draft Form 990 submission. After a discussion of these documents, including a section-by-section review of the draft Form 990, the Board of Directors voted to approve the contents of the Form 990 prior to its submission.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

IRS990/Desc0The Azraq School is an education enhancement program in South Azraq, Jordan. The program was founded in 2015 to provide free-of-charge academic opportunities for Syrian refugee children and other vulnerable youth in the Azraq community. We provide instruction to 120 students in the core subjects of Arabic, Math, Science, and English while providing enrichment opportunities through Music, Art, IT, Discovery, and more. We strive to create a compassionate environment with teachers and staff who are constantly working to help students discover a love of learning and reach their full potential. The program employs local part-time staff including five teachers, a program administrator, janitor, bus driver, cook and program manager. The Azraq School is run in collaboration with a local Jordanian organization, Nachmyat Eastern Badia Cooperative, and the volunteer group Helping Refugees in Jordan (HRJ). Nachmyat and HRJ contribute to additional running costs and management of this program.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0In 2017, The Syria Fund continued its successful Songs for Syrians music program in collaboration with US-based organization S'Cool Sounds. Songs for Syrians provides instrumental music instruction using recorders and percussion and trains students to perform in ensembles. The program curriculum incorporates both local and international musical traditions. In 2017, the Songs for Syrians program provided music classes in three locations: The Azraq School, Al'Rahba School, and two additional schools in Sahab, Jordan with the Middle East Children's Institute (MECI). In 2017, we completed our second annual music week, bringing a team of international musicians to Jordan to expose our students to new ways of making music (including body percussion and homemade instruments). At the conclusion of the week, we hosted concerts in all three locations where students performed for their families and community members.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0The Syria Fund supported various other small education initiatives in Jordan including backpack drives, youth trainings, and other miscellaneous programs.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1The Al Rahba School for Syrian refugees education enhancement program was established in 2016 in coordination with the White Hands Association, a local charity in Jordan. The program served over 100 students between the ages of 6-14 living in rural Northeast Jordan. The program employed local Jordanian part-time staff including six teachers, a bus driver, two librarians and other support staff. TSF and White Hands provided instruction Arabic, Math, Science and English. TSF and White Hands set up a small library and art room to provide additional enhancement programs in art, reading and music. The Al Rahba School was a one-year partnership that was completed in May 2017.
