Social media has enabled influencers to reach millions, and many of the Generation Z and millennial audiences who regularly engage with platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook to contribute or enact to positive changes around them. While many influencers and celebrities routinely endorse big brands or services through collaborations, a few participate towards social causes or promoting positive changes. Mohammad Makhlouf, the young Syrian celebrity, is one of them who’s using his power to address a host of issues, such as education, environment, and healthcare among others.    

To help restore Syria to its former glory, Makhlouf created MRM charity and a stadium in Latakia that people can use at their leisure, free of cost. Makhlouf has devoted his life to developing and rebuilding Syria by investing in projects for the non-profit and making education and healthcare easily accessible in the country. “With power comes great social responsibility. I’m privileged to be followed by millions, and hence, I’m in a position to enact real change. Knowing that I can change the situation around me, I want to go out there and bring Syria to it’s original form,” says Makhlouf.

Makhlouf dreamed as a teen about becoming successful being able to use his powers for betterment of society. He realized his dream with MRM Holdings, a construction company aimed at rebuilding Syria. Makhlouf’s MRM is set to launch in 2022 and even before the launch, the company has managed to secure major investments. His project’s mission is to help and support the Syrian families affected by the crisis.

Besides this, being conscious of the climate change and its foreboding consequences, he has invested in Syria’s biggest wind energy project which spans across 76 acres with an estimated budget of $150,000,000. Makhlouf’s efforts are paving the way to a greener future.

Unlike fellow celebrities, Makhlouf is aiming to encourage people to stand up as pillars to development and disasters.  He wants to shatter the illusion that being a celebrity is all about fame and fortune, and that being in the public eye comes with a lot of responsibility that many do not even consider.

So much celebrity news is inclined towards gossip and grooming that it’s very rare that we get to hear about the about the effect people in the limelight have on the world. However, Makhlouf is just one of the many celebrities using his abilities, network, and resources to make change for the better. With his plan of rebuilding the entire nation, Syria can look forward to a brighter future with Makhlouf leading the way.
