Tharwa Foundation

Since its inception, Tharwa has worked to foster new avenues of communication and dialogue between various communities in Syria and the greater Middle East.  Our premier program, the Citizen Journalist Initiative, currently serves hundreds of citizen journalists in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, Morocco and Yemen, as well as the United States and Europe.

An online network for activists, bloggers, researchers, and reporters among many others, the Initiative provides unfiltered news and analysis through the Tharwa Foundation website at www.tharwafoundation.org and our Arabic website.  

Tharwa hopes to further expand the scope of the Citizen Journalist Initiative over the coming years to enable the emergence of a new, diverse generation of journalists to chart a course of dialogue in their communities and beyond.
