Dear donors and supporters,
Millions of people had to leave their homeland and seek shelter in various countries because of the armed conflict in Syria. The main goal of this project is to help refugee children from Syria overcome this crisis and the ensuing challenges. Your support helps us to create a new life for them.
In the picture, you see how they complete tasks, make new friends, and acquire necessary abilities and skills. The smile of each of them encourages our team. We organized a meeting in the organization, during which social-emotional skills and self-awareness tasks were provided to the beneficiaries. We value the self-expression and self-presentation abilities of the beneficiaries. This program aims to include them with Armenian children and empower them.
From the corresponding studies and research, it is evident that immigrant children and teenagers need to be involved in non-formal training modules, where they will be able to share their ideas and suggestions, work in a team, and find solutions to their problems.
After returning to Armenia, it has been very difficult for them to adapt to this new reality, because the war has made them more aggressive, conflict-prone, and less tolerant. This project will provide them with the necessary skills to overcome these difficulties and focus on the future. Those who survived the war are mostly children from Armenian families living in Syria. Those refugee children have many psychological problems, and working with them is our priority. We are implementing various processes to help them recover their lost knowledge and also integrate into Armenian society.
