Rebuilding and empowering lives in Syria.

What we do

Three Wishes is committed to providing comprehensive treatment and care for individuals facing mental and physical challenges, with a special focus on those affected by war-related trauma.

Our charity operates in Syria and offers a range of health therapies, recognising the transformative power of expressive arts, music, and sports in fostering recovery and creativity among vulnerable populations.

“I became a doctor to make a difference where it matters most. To stand beside people in their most vulnerable moments, to ease their pain, and to remind them they are never alone.”

— Dr. Karim Aljian

Our programmes

Partnering with local organisations and schools, our team of trained professionals ensures that each programme includes culturally sensitive elements and is designed around the unique needs of our beneficiaries. We continuously assess and adapt our work to remain effective and responsive to participants' evolving needs.

  • Expressive Arts and Music

    Expressive Arts and Music

    We create welcoming and safe spaces where individuals can process and express their emotions, fears, and hopes through various activities, including painting, sculpting, and music sessions. Engaging in these creative outlets helps participants find purpose and empowerment on their journey toward healing.

    Investing in Education

    We believe education is key to rebuilding Syria. That is why we fund essential school costs — covering infrastructure, utilities, staff support, and safety measures — to ensure safe, functional learning environments. Our goal is to ease financial burdens so schools can focus on delivering quality education to students.
