Syrian Refugee Relief Fund

Thank you for your generous contribution to the Syrian Refugee Relief Fund. Your donations continue to make a difference, ensuring Syrian refugees and their host communities have access to food, water, shelter, urgent medical aid, and essential care amid ongoing violence and global conflict. 

Since our last update, donations from the Syrian Refugee Relief Fund have supported two new grants to high-impact,community-led charitable organizations. These GlobalGiving partners are working tirelessly to help Syrians facing escalated risk in Lebanon due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, as well as Israel’s recent land incursion. 

Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported recently: 

• Alawite Islamic Charity Association (AICA) is currently responding at five shelters in Tripoli city and two shelters in Akkar governorate, assisting people who have been uprooted from their homes and lives, including Syrians seeking refuge.
• Jafra Foundation for Relief and Youth Developmentis distributing food items, blankets, and other essentials to families, along with dignity kits for women and young girls to address their health needs amid Israel’s bombardment.  With over a decade of emergency response experience and centers strategically located near key shelter areas, Jafra’s team is well-placed to provide vital support to families affected by displacement.

Your support of the GlobalGiving Syrian Refugee Relief Fund powers community-led responses like these, ensuring that Syrian refugees get the critical resources they need no matter where they are in the world.

From the words of our partner…

“Your timely support comes at a critical moment, as Lebanon continues to face immense challenges on multiple fronts, with displaced populations, including Syrians, among the most vulnerable. Every penny of this grant will make a significant difference as we work tirelessly to provide relief and essential services to those in need.” - AICA Team

We and our partners cannot say it enough—thank you.

With gratitude,

Thank you for your generous contribution to the Syrian Refugee Relief Fund. Your donations continue to make a difference, ensuring Syrian refugees have access to food, water, shelter, urgent medical aid, and general care as violence and global conflict continue to impact many.

Since our last update, donations from the Syrian Refugee Relief Fund have supported two new grants to high-impact and community-led charitable organizations working tirelessly to help Syrians facing ongoing, long-term displacement in Lebanon, Turkiye, Jordan, and Greece. Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported recently:

• Molham Volunteering Team (MVT) was created by Syrian university students to alleviate the suffering of fellow Syrians in Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkiye. Your donation resources projects like MVT’s winterization program, which combats deadly winter conditions for displaced people in Lebanon with ample heating materials, emergency shelter kits, and essential items like mattresses and blankets. MVT is also responding to a recent fire at Ramadan camp in Wadi Al, Lebanon with medical support, shelter, food, and essential aid to displaced Syrians whose shelters were destroyed in this disaster. When they’re not responding to urgent crises, MVT also leads a wide variety of projects in Jordan and Turkiye, such as Ramadan food baskets and education sponsorships programs. 

• Soup & Socks e.V. (SS) is a grassroots organization in the Epirus region of Greece that supports over 3000 refugees and asylum-seekers. Many of the organization’s varied projects center around  “Habibi.Works,” their beautiful community space that offers workshops, skills training, sports and recreation, English classes, and hot meals, especially to the approximately 1,000 refugees and asylum seekers residing in the Katsikas camp—just across the road from Habibi Works. Thriving community centers like Habib.Works help refugees recover from significant emotional traumas, isolation, limited economic opportunities, and inconsistent access to financial support. SS also collaborates with many local organizations to provide legal consultations, women's health workshops, and distributions of essential items.

Your support of the GlobalGiving Syrian Refugee Relief Fund powers community-led responses like these, making a world of difference to ensure no displaced person is left behind. It means Syrian refugees facing more than 13 years of displacement get the critical resources they need to create safe and peaceful lives for themselves and their loved ones.  

We cannot say it enough—thank you.
