SPARK offers access to higher (vocational) education and supports entrepreneurship development in fragile and conflict affected states so that young, ambitious people can lead their societies into stability and prosperity. Over the last 24 years, SPARK has built a strong record of accomplishment in over 25 states in the Middle East, Africa and Europe. In doing so, SPARK contributes to laying a foundation to rebuild conflict-affected regions, once the conflict is over. For example, SPARK is the largest university- and higher vocational scholarship provider for Syrian refugees.
