Situation: Syria is one of the biggest humanitarian and refugee crises of our time. With over ten years of ongoing conflict, life for Syrians is incredibly challenging.

Impact: The war has driven people out of their homes and scattered them across refugee camps with difficult living conditions and extreme poverty. A staggering 11.1 million people are in need of humanitarian aid.

Response: For this project, we provided immediate life-saving assistance and support to people living in a refugee camp in Idlib. We provided heating charcoal, plastic sheets, mattresses, blankets, and food, 749 households benefitted. These essentials will help them through the winter.

Um Ali and her family had a comfortable, life with stability and security through, cultivating land and raising livestock. That was until the outbreak of war in Syria drove them out of their home, and to a refugee camp in Idlib.

With her husband, 7 children and no means to generate an income, Um Ali and her family relies solely on humanitarian aid.

Life is difficult in a refugee camp and the poverty is severe. Many families like Um Ibrahim’s are in this situation.

With returns from Waqf donations, we are able to provide assistance in times of emergency and also work towards more long-term sustainable solutions.
