Born in Aleppo, Kareem Abeed graduated in Electronics and Communications Engineering shortly before war broke out in Syria in 2011. He began documenting atrocities with his mobile phone, becoming a prominent figure in the Middle East’s citizen journalism movement. In 2013, he founded the Aleppo Media Center (AMC), which provides frontline reporting to outlets such as CNN and the BBC. Abeed and his AMC team co-produced the award-winning documentary Last Men in Aleppo, which won the Emmy, Peabody, and Sundance Grand Jury Prize and earned Oscar and Independent Spirit Award nominations. He also received the International Documentary Association’s Courage Under Fire Award. Targeted by Russian disinformation campaigns for his work, Abeed continues to lead AMC from a secure location outside Syria, dedicated to exposing the truth of the ongoing conflict.

5.0 Produced for Kiva
Kiva Spotlights Midyat/Mardin
From the wars in Syria and Afghanistan to the current crisis in Ukraine, the global refugee crisis continues to expand at a dramatic rate. Over 84 million people are currently displaced from their homes—the most in human history—and some experts believe it will become 300 million by 2030. While immediate humanitarian aid is critical, long-term solutions are needed to help these displaced people find and access economic opportunities as they rebuild their lives.

One Day in Aleppo
after five months of incessant and senseless shelling, a group of children living in Aleppo start painting the walls of their city. It is an act of protest as well as resistance: a small act that dares to dream of bringing back life in a place that has been humiliated by bombs and bullets, while international powers were watching without doing anything to save lives.
