A food basket is a practical way to support a household in Syria. Choose groceries for parents, relatives or another family you want to help, with the contents and total quoted before you pay.
The reason people choose a basket over a transfer is simple: a transfer becomes a decision, and the person receiving it will usually make that decision in someone else’s favour. Groceries arriving at the door are not a decision. They are already bought, already carried up the stairs, already in the kitchen — and you know precisely what arrived because you chose what went in it.
You decide the contents. Staples for a month, or a specific list, or "whatever a household of five needs for two weeks" and our team puts it together and quotes it. Everything is bought in their own city at local prices, so nothing is lost to shipping or to anyone in between.
What goes in a basket
You choose what goes in it
Send us a list, or tell us the size of the household and roughly what it needs, and our team puts a basket together and comes back with one all-inclusive price before anything is bought. Prices in Syria move, so each basket is quoted individually rather than sold at a fixed figure.
How it works
Choose what to send
In the Jawlaha app, pick the items and the shops inside Syria to buy them from, plus the recipient’s name, address and phone number — and a note for the occasion if you want one.
We send you one quote
Our team reviews the order and sends you a single all-inclusive price in Syrian pounds covering the items, the service and the delivery.
Pay by money transfer
Use the transfer method and recipient details our team confirms with your quote, then send us the transfer number and a photo of the receipt.
We buy it and deliver it
Once the transfer is confirmed, a Jawlaha driver buys everything from the shops and hands it to your family at their door inside Syria.
