An organization that believes there is a more ethical, efficient, and relational way to finance, accompany, and support local and refugee-led change around the world.

Aaron co-founded and directed Sawiyan--A non-profit that works alongside marginalized refugee groups in Jordan to advocate on their behalf, incubate community-led programming tackling their most pressing issues, and create greater access to educational, personal, and professional development opportunities for these communities.In January of 2022 Aaron moved to Sawiyan's Board after the organization transitioned to become a complete refugee, locally-led organization--bringing into fruition the decolonial model he and his co-founder had envisioned when they founded the organization in 2016. Upon Aaron's departure, Sawiyan had built a strong reputation within the humanitarian community in Jordan for being a pioneering leader advocating for the rights/access to assistance of African origin refugees, being a founding member of the One Refugee Approach Working Group, and for their innovative, purely refugee-owned programming.

In 2019, Aaron co-led the formation of the first One Refugee Approach Working Group. He personally co-chaired the working group of now 30+ humanitarian organizations, working to ensure that the response plans, humanitarian programming, and annual donor accounts in Jordan were in line with humanitarian principles and the ‘One Refugee Approach’. Working alongside humanitarian partners Aaron oversaw advocacy that led to real change in perspective, humanitarian approach, and even real change in both humanitarian and local policy at different times.
