A dear Syrian friend asks us to spread the fundraising appeal below to support the work of the Syrian organization called Sanabel Al-Amal which runs a school with around 6000 Syrian girls and boys who live in the refugee camps on the border between Syria and Turkey.
Thank you very much for what we will be able to do for these children with your help!
The women of Le Mafalde
As everyone knows, there have been hundreds of thousands of Syrian children (around 800,000) who have lost their homes, their schools and many of them have also lost their parents.
Many families fled the war, some managed to get to Europe or Turkey but the less fortunate, those who didn’t even have the money to pay for a trip to Europe, remained stuck in the northern part of Syria and have been living in camps for years refugees.
Many of these children live in tents, others still don’t even have those and live in temporary accommodation, with little food, water, without blankets and warm clothes to face the winter season.
Life in refugee camps and makeshift shelters worsens with the arrival of the cold winter, most families do not have the possibility to shelter from the harsh cold.
Some international and local humanitarian organizations have been working for years to try to make the lives of these people less difficult, but this work does not even cover 10% of what is needed.
One of these organizations is Sanabel Al-Amal , a non-profit, apolitical humanitarian organization founded in 2019, which deals with education and assistance to orphans, as well as guaranteeing medical assistance to poor and displaced families in the areas of Ghouta, Idlib countryside of Aleppo.
The organization is present in 9 schools in the cities of Afrin, Otmh, western Aleppo countryside where there are 6250 students.
Organization activities:
- Provision of educational materials to approximately 50,000 students distributed in schools in eastern Ghouta and displaced persons camps in the northern countryside;
- Construction of two water wells within the displaced persons camps in the border city of Atma, where over 50,000 people live;
- Project (Fast Breakfast) which consists of the distribution of over 55,000 meals for displaced people living in refugee camps during the month of Ramadan;
- Economic support for displaced people from the areas of Ghouta, Aleppo, Daraya, Hama, Madaya, Zabadani, Homs and Idlib;
- Healthcare support at Al-Shifa Medical Center which provides free medical care to approximately 3,000 patients per month.
