Britain’s Syrian community is older and quieter than Germany’s. Families who came for university in the eighties and nineties and never went back. Professionals settled around London, Manchester and Birmingham. A smaller resettlement intake spread deliberately across towns rather than concentrated in cities. It is a diaspora that is well established rather than newly arrived — which changes what people send.
If you want to support parents or grandparents from the UK, you can choose groceries rather than a decorative gift. Include any dietary preferences and the quantities needed, and review the available items and total quote before paying.
The other thing that comes up from the UK is distance within families. Cousins in Syria you have not seen since childhood, an aunt whose address you have to ask someone for. You do not need to reconstruct any of it — the recipient’s name, address and phone number are enough, and our team handles the rest on the ground.
Only two hours behind Syria for most of the year, the UK is one of the easier corridors for actually talking things through: you can send a question in the morning and have an answer before lunch.
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.
The price comes in Syrian pounds
You think in pounds sterling; the quote comes to you in Syrian pounds, because that is what the shopping and the delivery cost there. You get one all-inclusive figure before you transfer anything.
Paying by money transfer
Payment is by prepaid money transfer. Before sending money, check the available transfer method and recipient details with our team. With your quote, we confirm how to send it from the UK and what details you need. Nothing starts until the transfer is confirmed.
Occasions that matter from the UK
Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha
Sweets, clothes for the children, or the full holiday shop arriving before Eid morning rather than during it.
Send a gift for Eid to Syria →Ramadan
The month’s staples delivered at the start, particularly for elderly parents managing on their own.
Send a Ramadan food basket to Syria →Syrian Mother’s Day, 21 March
Not the British one in March that moves with Lent — Syria’s is fixed on 21 March. Flowers or a cake arriving on the right date.
Send flowers to Syria →Just because it has been a while
You do not need a special occasion to send something thoughtful. Choose groceries, flowers or another available gift and agree the delivery details with the team.
