Our emergency mission to the victims of the earthquake in Syria has just ended. It took place in the region of Lattakia, which was badly hit by the earthquake, mainly in the villages. Many families are still living in the rubble, having received no help.

We were able to meet and support 250 families with hand-delivered donations, ranging from €150 to €400, after assessing their personal situation. These donations will be used, where possible, to repair the cracks in their homes. For those whose homes have been totally destroyed, our support will allow them to survive for a few months.

An uncertain future awaits thousands of Syrians who are suffering horribly from the international community's economic blockade on their country. "We are in a tunnel and our future is dark", most families will tell us. More than ever, we continue to work alongside them.

SUPPORT FOR THE EDUCATION OF DISPLACED SYRIAN CHILDREN EMERGENCY AID TO SYRIAN FAMILIES

We support children affected by the war in three educational centres in Latakia (Besnada and Zekezkanie) and Homs. These centres provide schooling and refresher courses for 700 children (between 6 and 15 years old), mostly displaced from the cities of Raqqa, Idleb and Deir Ezzor... Science, Russian, Arabic and literature classes are taught by certified teachers. Psychologists work with the children on their traumas.

Goal

Training displaced Syrian youth
Helping the people of Syria to survive

In 2023, we will continue our support to these 3 educational centres which bring such an educational added value to the pupils that they have become a school. The displaced families whose children we educate are experiencing a terrible economic crisis in Syria, linked to the deep devaluation of the Syrian pound. The repercussions are dramatic for the entire Syrian population, which is suffering the collateral effect of the economic collapse of Lebanon. On the other hand, the international sanctions on the country and the closure of the borders are starving the Syrian people. We support Syrian families with distributions of $30/month that allow them to survive, despite an exponential increase in prices.

Damascus, the Syrian capital hosts many very poor families who have lost everything in the war. Crammed together with 2 or 3 families in insalubrious flats in the suburbs of Damascus, these people receive permanent care from this congregation.
