The project launched on August 1, 2015, targeting 1,600 children in the Zahraa and Wadi al-Dhahab neighborhoods of Homs. Through six months of educational programs and psychosocial activities, our centers became safe spaces and helped children build their self-confidence and develop their skills. On March 9, 2016, we concluded the project, seeing hope in the children's eyes.

In mid-2015, the Kareem Charity partnered with UN-Habitat to implement a cleaning project in the Homs neighborhoods (Bab al-Sabaa, al-Marjeh, al-Adawiya, al-Nuzha, and Akrama). The work included street sweeping and rubble removal to prepare the areas for safe housing, as well as maintaining the city's cleaning equipment to ensure continuity of service. This intensive effort, completed over eight months (from August 2015 to March 2016), serves as a model of effective cooperation between Kareem Charity and UN-Habitat.

We began on June 15, 2016, establishing an integrated sewing and shoemaking workshop in Homs. Over a period of seven months, we trained 44 male and female workers and displaced persons (85 of whom were women heads of households). We produced clothing, shoes, and bags and provided sustainable income opportunities for families. The project concluded on January 3, 2017, enabling the group to continue operating independently.

In September 2016, we launched the first campaign, visiting 10 areas: Armenian, Sabil, Akrama, Wadi al-Dhahab, and al-Muhajireen (Homs city). We also traveled to rural Homs (al-Mukhram, Sheen, al-Qabou, Khirbet al-Tin, and Tarin). During the campaign, we provided psychological support activities and theatrical performances to 14,000 children. The campaign concluded in November 2016, after assisting 1,350 dropout children. In October 2017, we launched the second campaign, which focused on collecting data on children who had dropped out of school in rural Homs and organized community meetings and educational activities. We concluded the campaign in December 2017 after supporting an additional 1,400 children.

We launched on October 3, 2016, with three support centers in the neighborhoods of Al-Muhajireen, Al-Armen, and Wadi Al-Dhahab, supported by the Jawwal team. For a full year, we provided psychological support to adolescents and children, along with vocational training. Our activities varied from sports to life skills. The project also included awareness and support programs for mothers. Our services reached 11,200 beneficiaries from these groups, and the project concluded on October 3, 2017. In doing so, we contributed to raising community awareness of the needs of women, children, and adolescents.

On January 1, 2019, we began supporting children with special needs and their families in Homs and its countryside. Over the course of the year, we provided psychological support and case management sessions, created protection programs and recreational activities, and trained parents and staff on the best care methods. We targeted 4,500 children and 700 caregivers, and the children's smiles were our greatest reward. The project ended on December 31, 2019, with families now more capable of providing support.

Food Basket Distribution: From 2017 to 2023, food baskets were distributed to the most needy families and vulnerable groups in Homs Governorate and its countryside. After careful assessment according to specific criteria to ensure that support reached those who deserve it, the peak support reached 8,000 families (approximately 40,000 individuals). In 2022, support continued in 2023, reaching 4,500 families (approximately 23,000 individuals). Food Voucher Distribution for Pregnant and Lactating Women: Starting in 2018, the Food Voucher Program was launched to support women. Monthly vouchers were allocated to pregnant and lactating women, with the number of beneficiaries annually ranging between 900 and 1,800 women (900 mothers were supported in 2023). Distributing food vouchers to support dropout students: To combat school dropout, we began in 2019 by providing food cards to 2,000 students. Support continued in 2023 for 1,800 dropouts. In 2022, the number reached 1,800 students.

Extending our ongoing partnership since 2017, we launched a new project in 2024 targeting the most vulnerable areas in Homs and its countryside. Our support is based on three interconnected axes: For 2,130 families, after a careful assessment based on the Community Assistance Vaccination (CVA) criteria, we began distributing carefully considered cash vouchers. We continued to support pregnant and breastfeeding mothers through food vouchers for 400 women. In parallel with supporting students who have dropped out, we distributed food cards to 2,000 students who have dropped out. Over the years of nutritional support, Plumpy Doz distributed preventive peanut butter (23 months), averaging 1,400 children per month, with adjustments depending on program resources. Preventive peanut butter is a therapeutic food product containing 500 calories per pack and 28 essential nutrients, specifically designed to prevent acute malnutrition in infants.

During the Lebanese crisis, from October 13 to December 31, 2024, we, along with the World Food Programme, provided emergency food assistance to 8,750 refugees arriving from Lebanon. We distributed full meals throughout the day (three meals per day) in shelters.

During the beginning of 2025, we distributed 500 urgent food rations as an emergency humanitarian response in Homs Governorate, targeting the poorest families suffering from food insecurity.

Through its office (Kareem Ladies), the association communicated with widows and provided them with wool for weaving and processing into woolen garments, with the goal of securing employment opportunities for them. Several charity exhibitions were opened for their products, with the proceeds going to them. Several initiatives were also held, such as a Ramadan tent throughout the holy month to enhance community cohesion. Each day, an association from Homs Governorate was hosted, along with various professional unions, with the participation of influential figures from Homs Governorate from all regions. Ramadan evenings were held, featuring Syrian and Homs heritage in particular, and meals were provided to families in their homes on national and religious occasions and holidays.
