Mari Research and Development

Mari Research and Development is a not-for-profit civil society organization operating in northeast Syria. It was established in 2019 and registered in Canada in 2020. In 2018, a group of educated, dynamic, and like-minded youth was working in development. The sector got together to establish an organization for addressing the most urgent and pressing, needs of people in Syria. MRD seeks to build a stable and just society where peace and respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms prevail. In order to promote cohesive and tolerant societies where justice and equality prevail, we seek to promote human rights and to make them the primary and main drivers of the diverse societies which we target through our work.
