Donate to children in Syria

Syrian children urgently need your help

Conflict has been wreaking havoc across Syria for nearly 14 years. The recent bout of fighting that has led to the overthrowing of the Assad regime has resulted in 280,000 people being uprooted, only adding to the millions of Syrians who are already displaced within Syria and in neighbouring countries.

Those who have fled over the years face a daily struggle to survive in overcrowded displacement camps where safety and access to food isn't guaranteed.

Nearly 70% of Syria’s population need urgent help. While another 12.9 million Syrians, who have left the country, also need humanitarian assistance.

Syrian families still need your support today.

How you can help

Syria’s children bear the greatest consequences of both the conflict and the horrendous earthquake in 2023, losing their childhoods to these dual disasters. Any child aged under 15 will not remember a time of security in their country.

As families attempt to rebuild their shattered lives, whilst still surrounded by conflict and political turmoil, more needs to be done to support this generation of children so that they can secure Syria's future.

We’re continuing to provide food, clean water, education, healthcare, child protection and psychosocial support to children and their families.

You can help transform the lives of Syrian children.

There is an urgent need to support those affected by the recent escalation of events, especially children, who have grown up in a context of conflict

Dreaming of self reliance

Um Muhammad’s husband was killed in a bomb strike and she was left alone to care for their seven children. For the past seven years they have lived in a displacement camp in Northwest Syria where despite Um Muhammad’s efforts to provide for the family, they are also reliant on additional aid.

“We want to stand on our own feet,” she says. “While humanitarian aid is essential, we also dream of the day we can rely on ourselves.”

Fleeing from conflict, then hit by an earthquake

Maher (age 5) has grown up in Türkiye after his parents fled there from Syria to escape the conflict. In 2023 the family were also affected by the earthquake that shook Turkey and Syria.

"We thought we had finally found some stability, but the earthquake shook us again, not just physically, but emotionally." says Maher’s mother Halla

Lack of access to maternal health care

Sama and her family were displaced from their home in 2017. When complications arose during her pregnancy with her third child she was terrified, knowing that access to health care in Syria is difficult and costly.

“Our financial situation is dire! My husband sometimes secures a job, other times, he cannot. And when he does, the pay is nothing to be mentioned, we can barely manage food”

Sama was one of the lucky ones. She managed to access health care at a free of charge hospital funded by World Vision Syria Response.

14 years on, millions of children are still suffering.
