The Syrian people are living through tragic times: a catastrophic economic situation (average salary of 13 US $ / month, 1 € = 13,000 LS in 2023 - 4,000 in 2022), the destruction of many villages during the earthquake in February 2023, a conflict that is dragging on with regular attacks throughout the country maintaining a climate of terror and borders closed by decision of the international community. The industrial fabric, which was very powerful before the war, is in a state of total decay. Syria is living on the ruins of its achievements...

Goal

TRAINING YOUNG SYRIANS DISPLACED BY THE WAR
HELP THE SYRIAN PEOPLE WHOSE HOMES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BY THE EARTHQUAKE TO SURVIVE

We are going to continue our emergency missions for Syrian villagers whose homes have been destroyed, as well as for the Armenian victims of the earthquake in Kassab. We will also be renovating a school (currently being assessed).

We support children affected by the war in three educational centres in Latakia, Damascus and Homs. These centres provide educational support and refresher courses for 700 children (aged between 6 and 15), most of whom have been displaced from the towns of Raqqa, Idleb and Deir Ezzor. The courses in science, Russian, Arabic and literature are taught by certified teachers. Psychologists work with the children on their traumatic experiences. 30 people are employed in our centres.

In 2024, we are continuing our support for these 3 educational centres, which provide such added educational value for pupils with a higher level of education than Syrian schools.  The displaced families whose children we educate are experiencing a terrible economic crisis in Syria, linked to the profound devaluation of the Syrian pound.
