About Syria

After over a decade of devastating conflict, Syria remains one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. Over 14 million people — more than half the pre-war population — need humanitarian assistance, with millions displaced both internally and as refugees in neighbouring countries. The conflict has destroyed critical infrastructure including hospitals, schools, water systems, and power grids. Entire cities have been reduced to rubble, and reconstruction efforts remain stalled. The economic collapse has pushed the Syrian pound to record lows, making basic goods unaffordable for most families. Winters are particularly brutal for displaced families living in makeshift camps and unfinished buildings without heating or proper insulation. Children have lost years of education, creating a generation at risk of illiteracy and exploitation. Food insecurity affects over 12 million Syrians, with many surviving on one meal per day. Our experienced Syrian relief partners navigate the complex operating environment to reach families in accessible areas with food, shelter, and medical supplies.

Delivery Method: We work with established Syrian relief organizations operating in accessible areas, ensuring aid reaches those most in need safely and efficiently.

Why This Matters

Millions of families worldwide live in makeshift shelters — tents, corrugated iron shacks, or damaged buildings without roofs or walls. A permanent home transforms everything: children can study, families stay warm in winter, and dignity is restored.

For £2,500, we build a complete two-room home with a kitchen area, bathroom facilities, and proper roofing. Each home is constructed using durable local materials and is designed to withstand local weather conditions.

What Your Home Includes

  • Two-room structure with solid walls and roof
  • Kitchen area with basic facilities
  • Bathroom and sanitation
  • Doors, windows, and basic furnishing
  • Built to local standards for durability

Building a home is a powerful form of Sadaqah Jariyah — the family will benefit for decades, and you continue earning rewards for as long as the home stands.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise." (Bukhari) — Scholars extend this principle to building homes for those in need.

We have been displaced three times. Your charity is keeping us alive.
