Syria is undergoing immense change, and the Center for Civil Society and Democracy (CCSD) is working tirelessly with local partners to bring hope, resilience, and opportunity to affected communities. Thanks to your generosity, we’re meeting urgent needs and building a future rooted in peace, justice, and human rights.

Empowering Local Leaders for Lasting Change

In December 2024, CCSD welcomed its third cohort of 20+ local organizations to the Empowering Civil Society Organizations Program. These changemakers are developing strategic plans and impactful programs to strengthen their communities. One participant shared:

“The workshop helped us see new possibilities, especially during this time of major change in Syria.”

This training gives local leaders the skills and confidence to drive lasting transformation.

Your Impact: Providing Hope and Opportunity

Since November 2024, your support through GlobalGiving has fueled life-changing work:

  • Relief Aid: Food, clothing, and hygiene supplies for displaced Syrians.
  • Women’s Empowerment: Vocational training helping women gain skills and financial independence.
  • Food Security: Agricultural projects tackling shortages and promoting sustainability.
  • Community Development: Peacebuilding, education support, and public space improvements.
  • Support for the Vulnerable: Aid for the elderly and people with disabilities.

Why Your Support Matters

Syrians face uncertainty, yet they show remarkable strength and determination. CSOs are launching new initiatives to create safe spaces, promote healing, and rebuild communities. With your help, we can amplify this impact. Your generosity has already changed lives. Let’s keep going! Thank you for being part of this journey!
