Is GitHub sponsors going to be available for worldwide developers, and for Syrians in this case? They need to rebuild their country. Can't do it without! Let alone access to simple features like private repositories.

Hey @knno! Thanks for reaching out 👋

Currently, GitHub Sponsors is available in regions supported by Stripe. Syria isn’t among those regions at this time, which limits availability for now.

While there are no immediate plans to expand beyond the 103 supported regions, that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Feedback like yours is valuable and helps reinforce the importance of supporting developers globally.

Thank you very much!
