House of Peace

In 2012, a group of young people unbeknownst to each other, met in Aleppo - Syria and formed what they have called “The Family”, searching for a purpose and belonging during a time of change. They were coming from all different backgrounds, and together they worked to provide humanitarian assistance for displaced people, hoping that their diversity and common purpose will spread a message of hope and contribute in building a future Syria. “The Family” grew and its mission persisted despite the departure of most of its founders. This inspired one of them few years later to establish the “House of Peace”; a virtual house that harbors an ever-expanding family - not only in Syria - and to develop the initial humanitarian mission towards building social peace in times of conflicts. Our vision as HOPers, is bringing together uniquely different individuals with shared values, and transforming the notion of peace into a practice of being and living, to inspire social change towards a hopeful and purposeful life.
