Your contribution to better learning conditions for Syrian children

In Syria, thousands of children are growing up in a world characterised by conflict and insecurity. Their school buildings are destroyed, their classrooms often no more than simple tents - but their hope for a better future lives on.

Teachers struggle every day to offer them a perspective, but resources are scarce.

Sad facts:

Many schools in Syria have been destroyed or are not functional. (As of 03/2025: 1,762 schools)
Teachers often teach without sufficient materials or infrastructure.
Unfavourable learning conditions: Freezing with jackets in winter, overcrowded classes, dilapidated furniture.

Our educational aid

Your donation will first and foremost support the emergency school programme run by the aid organisation EDC, enabling children and young people who have been unable to attend school for long periods of time to quickly re-enter the education system. The programme not only offers an efficient learning programme, but also provides the pupils with psychological support to help them make the transition back to a regular school or a professional future.

In the short term, your donation will help to maintain the 4 schools of the aid organisation EDC including teacher salaries, room costs and teaching materials. Find out more about the EDC schools.

In the medium term, it contributes to the general Learning conditions for pupils in Syria, as there are plans to support more schools, especially in the area of Equipment and teaching materials.

In the long term, we aim to develop a comprehensive project concept in cooperation with other organisations and official bodies that makes schools in Syria more child- and environmentally friendly and aims at an energy-efficient and sustainable refurbishment of schools. Your donation will also benefit this aspect.
