About Us

Ead Samawi Foundation was established to tackle some of the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. With a deep commitment to aiding those affected by war, persecution, and natural disasters, our mission is to provide relief, restore dignity, and help displaced individuals rebuild their lives.

Founded with an initial endowment of 40 million Swiss francs, generously provided by our founder, we are dedicated to making a tangible and lasting impact on refugees and displaced persons across the globe.

We believe in the power of collaboration. By partnering with leading international humanitarian organizations, we ensure that aid reaches those who need it most—efficiently and effectively. Whether it’s emergency relief, long-term resettlement support, or community rebuilding initiatives, our work is centred on providing safety, stability, and the opportunity for a fresh start.
