Since 2016, Unheard Cries has worked tirelessly to advocate for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East and Africa. Here are some of the projects over the years…
Founding "Hebron Hoops"
July 3, 2024
In Hebron, Palestine, many children face severe mental challenges as they live amidst the unwavering restrictions placed on their heads. With the limitation of movement and helicopter soldiers, the youthfulness of our brothers and sisters are being stripped away. Unheard Cries has assembled a co-ed children’s basketball team in Palestine to encourage health outlets and mental resistance, especially in times of war. Read More
Planting 2000 Trees in at risk land in Burin, Nablus, , Palestine
June 7, 2024
Palestine's vibrant culture is intricately intertwined with its land and its trees. Olive trees have sustained Palestinians for thousands of years and serve as an enduring symbol of Palestinian prosperity, resilience, and their historical ties to the land. Unheard Cries is working with on-ground partners to replant 2000 trees. Together with on-ground farmers, we are working to plant trees in at-risk land to renew and restore its health. The harvest from the trees will provide additional income to farmers, feed the community, and stand as a symbol of endurance, pride, and a claim to ownership and presence.Read More
Sponsoring education in the Shammah Splendid Centre in Kenya

The Kibera Slum in Nairobi, Kenya, is the largest slum in Africa and one of the largest in the world.

Our most powerful tool of empowerment to break that cycle is education.Unheard Cries is funding the Shammah Splendid Centre in Kibera, a non-profit school that is expanding access to all who can't afford a private or public school education.

Rebuilding houses in Syria in response to the 2023 earthquake
February 6, 2023
On February 6th, a devastating earthquake took from our brothers and sisters in Syria their homes, belongings, and, most devastatingly, their loved ones; the sanctions on Syria took away the hope of help from the outside. Unheard Cries worked with on-ground reps in Latakia and Aleppo to deliver emergency relief in the form of food, medicine, sanitary products, female hygiene products, and baby products. Read More

Domestic violence is one of the most pressing social issues in the Middle East, especially in Turkey. Unheard Cries' Turkey team lead interviewed Ms. Yaz–a victim of domestic abuse who courageously left her abuser after the birth of her daughter- and shared her story to raise awareness.
