When war collapses every system, who keeps communities alive? In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman speaks with Alaa Albakour, director of Localized Action, about how Syrians rebuilt from nothing but trust and necessity. From food committees and youth volunteer networks to women-led initiatives that turned leftover aid into dignity, Alaa shows how resilience emerges not from capital, but from care.

🎙 “Real enterprise doesn’t begin with money — it begins with community.”
