In the war-ravaged lands of Syria and Yemen, where bombed-out buildings are now homes and the cries of children echo through desolate streets, we are providing more than just aid—we are delivering hope.
Syria, a country known for its ancient history and rich culture, is now a symbol of human suffering. The scars of civil war run deep, and with each passing year, the conflict grows more complex. Entire families have been displaced, and children, who once dreamt of school and play, now only dream of survival. These children, caught in the crossfire of a conflict they did not start, face unimaginable hardships. Many have lost their parents, their homes, and any sense of security.
In Yemen, where the gentle waves of the Arabian Sea meet the unforgiving desert, the war has pushed an already fragile country to the brink. Starvation, disease, and violence have become daily realities. Children, some no older than five or six, walk barefoot through rubble, searching for food or shelter. Their eyes—once filled with innocence—now mirror the devastation around them.
Our Response
In these broken landscapes, we have been a lifeline for more than 300 children and their families, providing critical emergency food supplies, medical assistance, and safe shelter. Our volunteers and staff, often risking their own lives, have been on the ground day and night, ensuring that even in the darkest times, no child is forgotten.
Take little Safiyat, a seven-year-old girl from Yemen. When we first met her, she was too weak to speak, her body ravaged by malnutrition. Her father had been killed in the war, and her mother was struggling to keep her children alive. We quickly provided Safiyat’s family with nutritious food packages and immediate medical care. Now, Safiyat is not only regaining her strength but also attending a temporary school we helped set up in her village. She smiles again, a tiny spark of joy in a sea of despair.
But our work doesn’t stop with survival. We are helping these children rebuild their lives. Medical aid is often the first step, but it’s not the last. In Syria, we’ve partnered with local health professionals to ensure that children receive psychological support for the trauma they’ve endured. In Yemen, we’re creating safe spaces for children to play and learn, providing them with the tools to reclaim their stolen childhoods.
The Challenge
The need is immense, and the situation grows more dire each day. Many areas are still under siege, and access to the most vulnerable populations is often blocked. Basic supplies—like food, clean water, and medicine—are running out. Without our continued efforts, thousands more children could lose their lives to hunger, illness, or violence.
Our Solution
We are committed to scaling up our emergency response. Through a network of local volunteers and international aid, we can get crucial supplies where they are needed most. Every donation made helps us deliver another meal, another life-saving medication, another blanket to shield a child from the cold. Your support can ensure that children like Amina not only survive but have the chance to thrive.
- In the past year alone, we have distributed over 20 tons of food, treated hundreds of children for malnutrition, and built temporary shelters for families who have lost everything.
- Psychological trauma programs are being expanded to help children deal with the mental scars left by war.
- We’re launching mobile medical units that can reach even the most isolated areas, bringing care to children who have no other means of help.
Impact so far:
Our emergency relief efforts have already transformed lives. Children who once had no hope now attend makeshift schools, where they can learn and play in safety. Families who had lost everything now sleep under sturdy roofs, protected from the elements. And the malnourished, sick, and injured children we’ve treated are regaining their strength, one by one.
But the work is far from over. Each day brings new challenges, and every dollar donated can mean the difference between life and death for a child in need.
“Every night, when I lay my head down, I wonder if I’ll wake up the next morning,” says Yousef, a 12-year-old boy from Syria who now lives in a refugee camp we support. “But then, I remember what the aid workers told me—that they’re here, and they’ll protect us. I believe them. They gave me a blanket and some books. It’s not much, but it feels like home.”
We need you to stand with us. Your donation, no matter the size, can change the trajectory of a child’s life. Will you help us continue this life-saving work? Without your support, more children like Amina and Yousef will be left to face the horrors of war alone. Together, we can make sure they don’t have to.
