HELP SYRIAN CHILDREN GET AN EDUCATION SO THEY CAN REBUILD THEIR COUNTRY!

Context

Mission Enfance has been working with children in Syria since 2012: schools have been renovated, educational centers have been created, and emergency aid has been distributed tirelessly during the war and the 2023 earthquake, alleviating the suffering of families in this country where 80% of the population lives below the poverty line. Since December 2024, the change of regime has brought as much hope as it has concern (see the testimony of our director in the attachment).

Goal

EDUCATE AND SUPPORT SYRIAN YOUTH

Our three educational centers in Damascus, Homs, and Latakia serve more than 700 disadvantaged children between the ages of 6 and 15 in poor neighborhoods. This provides essential academic support to help them catch up after falling behind due to the war and lack of financial resources. Our students receive instruction in science as well as literature and languages (Arabic, English, French). At our centers, we listen attentively to each child, many of whom are traumatized by the situation in their country. Thirty teachers are employed at our centers.

Throughout the year, we regularly carry out emergency missions by distributing food vouchers or money to the most needy families. Our team meets with each family and delivers our aid in person.
