Dear Supporters,
Thank you for your continued dedication to the children of Northwest Syria. Your monthly support has been the steady foundation of this project, and we want you to know how much it truly matters.
Our goal remains the same: to build a school that will welcome 1,150 students into safe, stable classrooms — a place where children can learn, heal, and look toward the future with hope. While progress on large-scale construction takes time, your recurring donations continue to move this project forward, helping us strengthen our groundwork and prepare for upcoming phases.
Every contribution you make helps us:
Maintain on-the-ground coordination with local teams and educators
Continue planning, assessments, and logistical preparations
Stay ready to begin each stage of construction as soon as resources allow
Support ongoing educational needs in the camps while the school is being developed
Across NW Syria, thousands of children are still studying in overcrowded tents and makeshift spaces. Your support is keeping this hope alive — the hope that soon they will have real classrooms, real desks, real teachers, and a place built just for them.
We understand that times are difficult everywhere, and we are deeply grateful for those who choose to stay with us. Your monthly donation is not just a payment — it is a promise to these children that the world has not forgotten them.
Thank you for believing in this mission and for helping us build a future these students can depend on. With supporters like you, we know we will get there.
