Majd is also co-founder and board member at Enab Baladi, a Syrian independent media organization established in Darayya in 2011. Continued surveillance by Syrian security forces resulted in Chourbaji fleeing to neighboring Lebanon, with her three children. Her husband was killed under torture in prison. In January 2014, Chourbaji founded Basamat in Lebanon, a center to administer support for Syrian refugee women. The organization provides extensive and diverse training in cosmetology, computer technology, visual arts, embroidery, English and French language study, in addition to psychological support and rehabilitation to women and their children. In 2015, she founded the Small World School in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon, for children of Syrian refugees in Lebanon. The school now has more than 1,000 Syrian students. In 2015, she was awarded the U.S. State Department's International Women of Courage Award, for her work with women and human rights advocacy in Syria, and in 2016, Oxfam's Right the Wrong award.
