Fadi Al-Dairi
Regional Director,
Hand in Hand for Aid & Development
Fadi Al-Dairi co-founded Hand in Hand for Aid and Development (HIHFAD) in 2011 in response to the Syrian conflict. He then left a job in finance in the UK to join the task force, lead it, and create its organizational structure. From its humble beginnings as a two-person organization, HIHFAD has expanded to become a highly influential organization with offices in Syria, the UK, Turkey, and, more recently, Yemen, employing over 1,100 people. Additionally, he is one of the founding members of the Syrian NGO Alliance (SNA), a group of 22 regional NGOs and diaspora organizations that supply the majority of the aid in Northwest Syria. Fadi serves on the steering committees of the NGO Forum for Northwest Syria and SNA.
