Our work
protecting children in Syria

What is happening in Syria?

13 years on from the start of conflict in Syria, millions of children are growing up without basic supplies and services to grow up safe and healthy.

Since December 2024, over 279,000 Syrians have crossed back into Syria from neighbouring countries where they originally fled to escape escalations of violence. 

In North West Syria, 636,000 people are living in displacement camps are unable to access suitable water, hygiene and sanitation services due to underfunding.

Education has been disrupted for over 230,000 children in North East Syria.

Children and families are facing an uncertain future and need humanitarian support to be able to live a healthy and normal life.

How are we helping children in Syria?

We are continuing to support children and families impacted by multiple crises in Syria.

With our partners, we have:

• Successfully rehabilitated and operated the second turbine of the Tishreen Dam, near the city of Aleppo, ensuring stability and self-generated electrical power for around 500,000 households.
• Provided a comprehensive package of nutrition prevention and treatment services, including supplements to 60,785 children.
• Provided primary healthcare services to 85,574 people, including 66,271 children.

How are we helping children in neighbouring countries?

We are one of the few humanitarian organisations working inside Syria, as well as being present for children and families affected by crises in nearby countries, including The State of Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Türkiye and Yemen.

Empowered by the generous contributions of our supporters and partners, we are working hard throughout the region to provide vital support and services including nutrition supplies, access to clean water and vaccines against disease.

Across the region, we are creating child-friendly spaces, which offer learning support and psychological care, as well as a safe space to play.

At the same time, we are working to protect, promote and uphold the rights of Syrian children who have made the dangerous journey to Europe in search of a better future.
