Aid for Families in Syria

As the month of March approaches, so too does the 10th anniversary of the start of the civil war in Syria. The impact of this crisis has been catastrophic. Millions of people continue to be displaced from their homes and struggle to meet their basic needs. There has been immense damage to infrastructure and most of the country lives with an increasing daily instability. Currently there are 11.1 million Syrians in need of humanitarian assistance across the country.

GlobalMedic has just sent its 37th 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 family 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 lifesaving assistance.

We have switched up our Emergency Food Kit for Syria, creating a kit full of culturally appropriate pantry stables. The kits include items like rice, green lentils and chickpeas. Families receive the kits and can then prepare the ingredients in the manner they prefer. 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!
