Give Support to 800 Syrian Refugee Families

More than 6.1 million people have been displaced within Syria in recent years - more than in any other country in the world. A further 5.3 million have left the country and are registered as refugees in the neighbouring countries. The average life expectancy is only 55 years. The Syrian war, which has lasted for eight years, is one of the most complex humanitarian crises of our time. According to United Nations estimates, 13.1 million people depend on humanitarian aid, including 5.3 million children.

More than 5.3 million people have left the country and are mostly registered in the neighbouring states as Jordan or Lebanon. There are currently around 1.4 million Syrian refugees living in Jordan. According to UN estimates, 12% of the population have fled another country. 

The ongoing Syrian crisis has led to a quasi-permanent stay of the Syrian refugee communities in Lebanon and Jordan. Around 80% of them live below the poverty line and many are therefore dependent on humanitarian aid to cover their basic needs.

We are helping both, Syrian refugees and the hosting communities in Jordan and Lebanon. With our project we want to reduce vulnerability and the suffering of the refugees and population affected by the Syrian conflict.

For this aim we are acting in serveral activities:

• Shelter/ NFI: distribution, winter equipment (winter clothing, blankets, etc.), cash assistance (cash for rent)

• Food security: distribution of food packages and vouchers for food, distribution of hot meals

• Repair of hygiene and sanitation infrastructure, distribution of vouchers for hygiene articles, implementation of hygiene training courses

• Health and Nutrition: free medical treatment days, health and nutrition sessions for beneficiaries, maternal care courses, health referrals, prophylaxis, community health education sessions

Please keep going on with your support, especially the permanent support of our work.

Thank you so much, yours
