As a Syria charity we are acutely aware that beyond the emergency needs of those caught in the conflict, the hope and future livelihoods of whole communities have been torn apart. When looking at how to help Syria we see that many Syrians have been forced to abandon their studies or careers. Millions of children have been out of education for the past five years and a generation is growing up illiterate.
We are working as a Syria charity to empower and rebuild lives. This not only means not only ensuring access to clean water, food and healthcare when we looking at how to help Syria – it equally means restoring hope, creating opportunities and fostering an environment that will help rebuild communities. As a Syria charity we want to restore the dignity of the Syrian human being.
Our Response: How to help Syria
- We design projects that help rebuild entire communities through providing training, educational and work opportunities to individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, the disabled and female heads of households.
- We equip people with life skills that will create a source of livelihood.
- We run training courses for disadvantaged people and heads of households to help them build skills that could become a source of livelihood
- We employ Syrians living in the areas local to where we work to provide them with the opportunity to earn a living and acquire new skills, which enables them to provide for their families and empowers the local economy
- We’re helping to get people back into work by providing job opportunities, and encouraging beneficiaries to think beyond relying on humanitarian aid alone
- Following on the success of our nursing training program in over the past four years, we continued to run this programme throughout 2017.
