The Syrian conflict has resulted in the biggest humanitarian crisis of our time.
It's been five years since the onset of the civil war in Syria and there is no end in sight. Today, there are four million Syrians who have been forced to leave their country, and it continues to grow.
Syrian families are struggling to pay for basic life essentials and urgently require your help. Your donation will help us provide a lifeline to Syrian families including essential emergency supplies such as food, shelter, blankets, water and healthcare.
Provide a family with a lifeline today. Every moment counts, please make your monthly donation today.
A monthly gift allows us to help more families in need and provide ongoing support in emergencies. Here are some examples of what your monthly donations could achieve over one year:
