Winter Warm-Up

Hakoura Collective invites you to an evening of music, food, solidarity, and collective action to raise vital funds for local community networks working on the ground in the southern Syrian city of As-Sweida.

In the aftermath of the attack on As-Sweida in July 2025, the city has faced its largest wave of displacement. Entire villages were destroyed, leaving many families without homes and with limited access to scarce basic supplies. Today, over 187,000 people remain displaced within As-Sweida city and its surrounding areas.

At this Winter Warm-Up Solidarity Event, we come together to honour and support the resilience of the people of As-Sweida; a community that continues to show us what it means to stand with one another, even when left alone in times of crisis.

All funds raised will go directly to trusted local community networks on the ground in As-Sweida who are working tirelessly to provide displaced families in hospitality centres with essential supplies and care. Together, we can help sustain their efforts through this challenging season. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference.

Program: •⁠ ⁠Outlining the situation in As-Sweida & how your contribution will make an impact •⁠ ⁠Storytelling performance by Marwa Mezher and Nadeem Kotrob •⁠ ⁠Live Music by Belal Abu Fakher, Rebal Kurkmaz, and Talal Fayad •⁠ ⁠A warm, home-cooked dinner by Miramea Kitchen (registration needed via this link)
