OUR
WORK IN SYRIA
The Syrian crisis is an ongoing humanitarian emergency. With over 12 million people forcibly displaced, the time for action is now.
What's Going On?
Millions of Syria's children have grown up knowing nothing but conflict. Even before the escalation of fighting in 2024, a protracted war, economic decline, disease outbreaks, mass displacement, and shattered infrastructure had left millions of people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Help us build our response.

Rebuilding Our Beloved Syria
Over 4 million Syrians who have been living in exile long to return to their homeland, but they have no homes to come back to. Cities have crumbled to the ground, and countless families are forced to live in makeshift shelters.
Action For Humanity is taking a crucial first step in rehabilitating and repairing damaged houses in Syria's newly liberated areas. Our projects aim to facilitate the return of our people to their homeland, ending their generation-long journey of displacement and misery.
Join us in providing a dignified return for the displaced. Your support is crucial in restoring their hope and rebuilding their lives in safe, warm, and inhabitable homes. Together, we can make a significant difference in Syria's future.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does AFH provide education to the students in Syria?
After over a decade of devastating crises, a whole generation of Syrian children have lost access to education. 7,000 schools have been damaged or destroyed, leaving more than two million children out of school.
The impacts of this are devastating. With no school to provide a sanctuary, children are at extreme risk of child labour, child marriage, and other protection concerns.
In response to this crisis, we run education programmes in over 100 schools and provide more than 350,000 students in Northwest and Northeast Syria with access to education. Your support can help us continue these vital projects, shaping the future of Syrian children.
How does AFH provide access to clean water?
Access to clean water is a human right. However, 7.6 million people across Syria urgently need water, sanitation, and hygiene services. The situation inside camps is complicated, as the lack of electricity makes access to clean water almost impossible.
Our teams run water trucking projects that provide clean water to IDP camps across northern Syria.
How is AFH helping displaced people?
As of 2024, informal camps in Syria housed nearly 2 million internally displaced people out of more than 7 million displaced by the war. These sites face extreme climate events each year, including flooding and snowstorms. In 2022, one-third of IDP camps experienced flooding.
We believe that everyone deserves a safe and dignified home. That’s why we’re rebuilding Syria, one village and one house at a time. We completed our first housing project in 2022. This project provides hundreds of climate-resilient homes with bathrooms, kitchens, and separate living spaces.
The next phase will see the construction of 500 homes for displaced families, each featuring a kitchen, a sleeping area, and a separate living space. It will also see the establishment of a school, a primary health centre, and a place of worship.
