Give Support to 800 Syrian Refugee Families

The Syrian crisis is now in its eighth year, and the population is marked by destruction and displacement. There are some 13.1 million people within Syria who need humanitarian aid, including 5.3 million children. More than 5.3 million people have left the country, most of them registered in neighbouring countries. Around 570,000 people fled Syria in 2017 alone. The critical response to this refugee crisis therefore lies largely with the neighbouring states (especially Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey). The already fragile situation of the receiving communities is further exacerbated by the high number of refugees. About every third person in Lebanon has fled another country, including one million Syrian refugees. Jordan currently has about 1.4 million refugees from Syria. Therfore it's very important to continue the support of the refugees.

With one of our current projects we want to reach refugees in Lebanon and Jordan to help reduce the suffering of the refugees and population affected by the Syrian conflict. The measures include the distribution of winter clothing and blankets, cash aid for rent payments, the distribution of food packages and vouchers for food, the distribution of hot meals, the distribution of vouchers for hygiene articles, the implementation of hygiene training, health education and care for mothers, vocational training to build a new livelihood and financial support for school fees.

I thank you for the during and strong support. Keep on. Together we can give sustained help toward the affected families.

Yours

Michael Tuerk
