Spiralling poverty has pushed many to the brink of starvation. 12.4 million people - 60 percent of the population - lack sufficient access to food, while 1.3 million are dependent on food assistance to survive. Another 1.8 million are at risk unless urgent action is taken.

At least 1 in 8 Syrian children suffer from chronic malnutrition, limiting their ability to fight off disease and leading to poor performance in school.

Yet after 11 years of destruction, Syria’s health system has all but collapsed. More than half of the population is in dire need of health assistance, with many forced to go without life-saving treatment. This is compounded by the widespread destruction of water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure.

We’re on the ground in Syria implementing a range of projects so that no one is left behind. As well as monthly food distributions that provide families with enough ingredients to last a month, we run a comprehensive Medical Aid programme aimed at providing all people with high-quality treatment.

Mobile Learning Centre

Sadly, school attacks have continued in Syria, with more than 1 in 3 schools damaged or destroyed. The volatile environment has gravely impacted learning and associated retention for children enrolled in schools. Without the chance to learn, children are more likely to be trapped in the vicious cycles of poverty, poor health, forced labour and early marriage. At Action For Humanity, it is our mission to get as many children as we can back into school and give them a chance to shape their future. Our Mobile Learning Centre travels to camps across northern Syria delivering education to displaced children who are unable to attend school. 

Action For Humanity aims to provide immediate educational access with integrated psychosocial support for out-of-school, displaced and host communities’ children in Idlib and Rural Aleppo through creative mobile education interventions. Support our Education projects today.

Water Trucking

Water supply systems in Syria have been devastated by conflict. In Syria, 14.6 million people have been impacted by the crisis and require regular access to water. Safe drinking water helps some of the most desperate families to break free from poverty and illness. 

Ensuring access to water and sanitation facilities requires us to invest in proper infrastructure and sanitation facilities, as well as spread awareness of water conservation, hygiene, and sustainable usage. We are implementing a range of projects that support and empower local communities such as maintaining water tank services in displacement camps.

In 2021, we reached 570,094 people by working closely with local communities on water, sanitation, and hygiene projects. We supported the population of 18,500 IDPs living in 19 camps in Syria’s Harim, Maaret and Misrin districts by providing them with an adequate amount of clean water through water trucking and rehabilitating water and latrine supplies.
