Rebuild Syria's economy. Without riba.

In December 2025, the Caesar Act was repealed. On 24 August 2026, the United States rescinded Syria's designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism after roughly fifty years. Together, these changes mean private capital can legally participate in Syria's reconstruction for the first time in most people's living memory. How that first capital arrives will shape the recovery, and we believe it should be riba-free.

Not yet, and that is deliberate. Contribution rails open only once three things are true: the charity partnership is signed for the donation rail, the relevant licenses and approvals are in place for each finance rail in each jurisdiction, and the diligence framework is published with verified businesses in the pipeline. We announce every milestone publicly, and waitlist members hear first.

Compliance is the reason nothing is open yet. Sanctions relief makes Syria investable in principle, but securities, charity, consumer protection, and money-service rules still apply in every jurisdiction we touch. We operate from a regulated Labuan entity and follow a licenses-first, money-second sequence. Nothing on this page solicits funds, and no rail opens without the approvals it needs.

There is no token and nothing speculative. Syria's correspondent banking links were severed for decades and will take years to fully rebuild. Regulated stablecoins held with licensed custodians are currently the most practical, auditable way to move value. They are plumbing, not the product. If conventional banking becomes the better rail, we will use it.

Every business must pass a published diligence framework covering ownership and identity verification, sanctions and adverse-media screening, on-the-ground validation through local partners, and use-of-funds documentation. Funded businesses report on outcomes. The framework is public precisely so that anyone can scrutinize it.

The instruments are the classical ones, structured under the supervision of qualified shariah scholars: qard hasan with zero increase, murabaha with disclosed cost and markup on real goods, ijara on real equipment, and musharaka and mudaraba with genuine profit and loss sharing. Fatwa documentation for each rail will be published before that rail opens, so you can review it rather than take our word for it.

On the charity rail, giving is the point. On qard hasan, you are owed your principal back, and like any loan there is repayment risk that diligence and the revolving fund structure manage but never eliminate. On the trade and partnership rails, yes, capital is genuinely at risk; that shared risk is what makes any return halal. Anyone promising reconstruction returns with no risk is not telling you the truth.

Restore Syria is founded by Jake Hall, a technologist and entrepreneur based in Malaysia, operating through a regulated Labuan corporation. The team is building in public: the diligence framework, compliance roadmap, and shariah documentation are all published as they are completed, so you can judge the work rather than the pitch. Syrian advisors and local partners lead the on-the-ground verification work.
