The activists who had founded the organization felt that the Assyrian community was overshadowed by other events surrounding ISIS, and so the Shlama Foundation was formed to deliver aid as fast as possible.

In addition, the Shlama Foundation has collaborated with USAID, American Women for International Understanding, and other organizations to pursue further development of the community post-ISIS.

The projects cover various aspects of Assyrian life in the country, including emergency cases, cultural preservation, housing, economic initiatives, community building, education, and infrastructure.

Additionally, the organization has started the Shlama Football League, which aims to connect Assyrian youth across their homeland and restore social activities after the impact of ISIS.
