Project Report | Feb 27, 2026
An update from the refugee camps - Smile Givers International

By Samy Refaat | Relations Officer

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for standing with us and for believing in the right of every child to learn. We want to share an honest update on our Build Classrooms and Teach Kids in Syrian Camps campaign.

At the moment, the project is paused due to a lack of donations. While the need remains urgent, we simply do not have the funding required to begin construction on new classrooms, hire teachers, or cover school operational costs.

Now that Syria has been liberated from its former oppressive regime, this is a crucial time to rebuild the country—and education must be at the center of that rebuilding. Children in camps are still living with the long-term consequences of war. Many remain out of school, and without immediate support to establish a evironment that encourages learning, they risk losing even more years of education, stability, and opportunity.

We want to restart this project and expand it so more children can study in safe classrooms, receive proper materials, and learn from qualified teachers. But to move forward, we need your help.

Your donation today can directly support:

  • Building new classrooms in camps
  • Providing books, desks, and school supplies
  • Covering teachers’ salaries
  • Ensuring safe, consistent learning spaces for displaced children

Together, we can give these kids more than an education—we can give them a future!

Thank you for your continued compassion and support.

Sincerely,

SGI Team
