Who We Are

The Heracles Group has been working in Eastern Syria for over 6 years and have recently expanded to Western Syria. We also work in Iraq, Yemen, and Ukraine but a bulk of our projects have been in Syria. Since we started working in Syria, we have completed 6 projects worth $4.1 million and have positively impacted over 200,000 people in dozens of communities. Our organization is engineering and technology focused. Most of our projects included renovating water pumping stations along the Euphrates River which provided clean drinking water for communities and irrigation support to farmers. We also conducted a food security project which provided a total of 5,700 tons of flour and 2,200 tons of bran to dozens of communities stretching from Raqqa to Southern Der ez Zour. Our signature project was 3 prosthetics offices which provided 3D printed prosthetics and supporting physical therapy. In all we were able to provide 3D printed prosthetics to over 200 amputees and physical therapy to over 500 patients. We are currently working with several schools and universities in Syria to develop Innovation Centers that will train engineering and medical students on how to incorporate 3D printing and robotics into their respective fields.
