Food Baskets for Displaced Families

In Syria, where millions live below the poverty line, SAED Relief and Development is implementing a life-saving food basket distribution project for families struggling to secure daily meals. On Giving Tuesday, we invite donors to support this urgent initiative, especially since all donations made today will be matched, doubling the number of families reached. SAED teams carefully prepare food baskets containing essential items that sustain families for an entire month, including rice, flour, oil, and legumes. These baskets are more than supplies—they are a gesture of dignity for families forced by hardship to seek help. Each prayer we receive from a mother and every smile from a child reminds us of the deeper impact of this project. For many families, these baskets are their only means of survival, particularly in remote areas and camps. With needs increasing daily, your support is more critical than ever. On Giving Tuesday, your contribution can feed twice as many families. Your donation today fills more than a basket—it fills a heart with hope.

Saeed Relief and Development (SAED) continued the second phase of its food basket distribution project across several underserved areas in Syria, where thousands of families live in extreme poverty and struggle daily to secure enough food. With unemployment rising and prices reaching historic highs, simply obtaining food has become an overwhelming challenge.

This phase focused on rural villages and informal camps lacking even the most basic necessities. SAED teams distributed 1,000 food baskets to the most vulnerable families—widows, orphans, the elderly, and displaced households. Each basket contained essential items sufficient for nearly a month.

The distribution was more than just the delivery of supplies; it was a deeply emotional encounter. The team met families who had not eaten a proper meal for days, and children waiting anxiously for anything that might ease their hunger. For many, this project represented a lifeline amid overwhelming hardship.

More than 5,200 individuals benefited from this round of distributions, gaining temporary relief from the daily struggle for food. Yet thousands more continue to wait silently for assistance.

SAED emphasizes that sustaining such critical projects depends entirely on donor support. Each basket donated today saves a family from hunger and restores a small but meaningful spark of hope in their difficult journey.
