Success Stories from Aleppo

By Megi Domi | Consultant, Crete For Life

Dear friends,

The ongoing conflict in Aleppo has severely impacted Aleppo's education system, resulting in a significant loss of schools, overcrowded classrooms, a shortage of teachers, and diminished quality of education. Many children have been unable to attend school due to financial difficulties, exacerbating the city's educational and mental poverty.Our joint program with the Blue Marists aims to bridge this gap by providing comprehensive support to underprivileged children, enabling them to access education. The program covers various costs, including school fees, transportation, and tutoring, as well as additional expenses like school uniforms and supplies. This initiative aims to empower children and their families by ensuring that education is not out of reach due to financial constraints. So far, our joint contributions have directly benefited 352 students, providing them with the necessary resources to continue their education in a challenging environment. The program's impact is amplified by the support of donors like you, which play a vital role in sustaining these efforts and giving hope to a community striving to rebuild its future.

Success Stories:

We have encountered various success stories in Aleppo which  highlight the resilience and determination of families and students in Aleppo amidst severe adversities.

For example, the L.B family's journey from losing everything in Idlib to overcoming financial and health challenges in Aleppo is a testament to their strength. Similarly, Student F.A's perseverance through multiple displacements, family illness, and personal challenges demonstrates the transformative power of education.
Another story of Student J.D illustrates the impact of educational support on a family struggling with severe health issues and financial instability. The Blue Marists' educational assistance has been crucial in these families' journeys, providing not just financial aid but also hope and a path to a better future .

As we continue to navigate these difficult times, the stories of resilience and perseverance shared by the students and families remind us of the transformative power of education. We are deeply grateful for your support received and look forward to continuing this vital work, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow, regardless of their circumstances.

Together, we can build a brighter future for Aleppo's children!
