Donate to children in Syria

Syrian children urgently need your help

The Syrian conflict has been wreaking havoc across Syria for the past 13 years resulting in the deaths of over 200,000 people. Among these numbers are children who’ve lost their lives to violence and indiscriminate bombing.

Those who fled their homes now face a daily struggle to survive in overcrowded displacement camps where safety and access to food isn't guaranteed. Pressure on vital services is high, highlighting the urgent need for support.

Syrian families still need your support today.

How you can help

The World Food Programme (WFP) estimates that over half of the population, 12.9 million Syrians, are currently experiencing hunger in 2024, while another 2.6 million are on the brink of food insecurity.

Syria’s children bear the greatest consequences of the conflict losing their childhood to war.

Their innocent faces hide years of trauma and fear. As the conflict continues, more needs to be done to support this generation of children so that they can secure Syria's future.

Your donation today will help children and families in Syria and refugees in neighboring countries who are struggling to survive.

We’re at the frontline providing food, clean water, education, healthcare, child protection and psychosocial support to children and their families.

You can help transform the lives of Syrian children.

Boys and girls aged five or six can name every type of bomb by its sound, but sometimes can barely write their name having missed out on an education.

13 years of war

Cramped in refugee camps

Catherine's Mother, Aysha, says she doesn't smile anymore. Their neighbourhood was bombed and they were forced to flee - now 13 family members live in one tent in a refugee camp.

Aysha says “We’re not capable of dreaming of the future,” she says. “My children were born and raised in a tent. There is no tomorrow for them.”

Traumatised

Fadi, 15, lost his father and his arm in an airstrike on his home. Now he and his family are struggling to get by in a refugee camp and he urgently needs a prosthetic arm.

Fadi says "When I lost my arm, I felt as if I were dead. Now I carry bricks with my brother using one arm to help provide for my family."

At risk of abuse

Syria is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a child, especially a girl. Since the conflict, child marriage and domestic violence has increased.

“I regret getting married. I dreamt of living a different life; a life like any other girl would dream of.” - Syrian girl, not pictured.

13 years on, millions of children are still suffering.
