ABOUT KARAM EVI DERNǦİ

Karam Ev Dernǧi  is an innovative workspace for Syrian refugee teens in Istanbul and Reyhanli, Türkiye, which defies traditional approaches to refugee education. At Karam Houses, hundreds of Syrian refugee teens learn through access to technology (maker spaces, internet, computers), expert mentorship (Syrian refugee architects and engineers), and a sophisticated design-based curriculum (developed by MIT grads) that teaches youth how to build their ideas and their community. 

We think about refugees and Humanitarian Aid differently and so we do things differently. We believe in investing deeply in communities affected by conflict.
