Now into its fifth year, the conflict in Syria has become one of the world's largest humanitarian crises. Millions of people have been displaced, needs continue to increase, and an entire generation of children is being deprived of basic services, education and safety, which are their right as children. Many have been exposed to war and violence and have lost their parents and families.
A new project in Tartous, in Northern Syria, will provide complete care for some 450 unaccompanied or separated children over the next three years. The project has been financed by the European Commission and will be run by SOS Children’s Villages within the framework of our countrywide Emergency Response Programme for Syria.
Direct care, shelter, educational support, health care, nutrition, vocational training, psychological support, and protection will be provided. Some 2,500 children in the wider community will also benefit from support services.
SOS Children’s Villages will also work to reunify unaccompanied or separated children with their biological families in every possible case. SOS families, or another quality alternative care, depending on the needs and best interests of the individual child, will be provided for children whose families cannot be found. SOS Children’s Villages is committed to ensuring that children affected by the Syrian crisis continue to receive the support and care that they need.
