GlobalMedic has just sent its 32nd sea container full of humanitarian aid including water purification solutions, emergency food, and medical supplies to Syria to support displaced Syrian families who continue to bear the brunt of the conflict.
All funds raised will continue to go towards distributing Family Emergency Kits and Emergency Food Kits.
Family Emergency Kits provide a familt with a water purification solution to ensure they have access to clean drinking water. The kits also include basic hygiene supplies as well as a solar light. Clean drinking water and proper hygiene are the first line of defence against the spread of disease, and provide life saving assistance.
Our Emergency Food Kit has been specifically designed by Syrians, for Syrians. Each kit contains 6 meals of a dish called Mujadara, a local meal containing bulgur, lentils and fried onions. These kits deliver a calorically dense meal, while maintaining the dignity of the beneficary by providing a culturally appropriate solution. The food kits are packed by volunteers in Canada and distributed to families along with the Family Emergency Kit.
These two solutions mean a family now has access to clean, water hygiene items and nutritious, locally appropriate and good tasting food.
Please donate today to help us send more aid to those affected by this ongoing conflict in Syria!
