Embracing creativity as AMAR rebuilds lives

“Offering sanctuary is a revolutionary act; it expresses love, when others offer scorn or hate. It recognizes humanity, when others deny and seek to debase it. Sanctuary says ‘we’ rather than 'I’. It is belonging—the building block of community.” 

Since 1991, the AMAR International Charitable Foundation has been providing professional health care and educational services to individuals and families affected by conflict and natural disasters across the Middle East. 

AMAR have delivered more than 10 million medical consultations to women, children and men who would otherwise have limited or no access to the health care they need. AMAR’s approach has won the approval of national governments, the World Health Organisation, the World Bank and UNESCO. 

AMAR is not just helping people to rebuild their lives, but are also improving the health, stability and empowerment of entire communities. All images in the AMARFolio are taken by supporters of the AMAR Foundation in the North West of England.
