Global Communities's Response to Syria Crisis

Global Communities has been providing assistance to communities affected by the conflict in Syria since August 2012. In Syria, through local partners, we have implemented in Aleppo and Damascus a host family assistance project, providing 250 families with emergency kits (including items such as blankets, kitchen equipment and hygiene materials).  In Lebanon, where shelter is the single greatest need, we have been directly implementing an emergency shelter program focused on families hosting refugees in Wadi Khaled and Aarsal, the two areas hosting the largest number of refugees. We aim to scale up these interventions to meet the growing needs of the vulnerable in and around Syria.
