Now in its 13th year of crisis, Syria is grappling with a catastrophe of unprecedented magnitude, with humanitarian needs at an all-time high. Approximately 7.2 million Syrians continue to be internally displaced (IDPs), highlighting the constant need for humanitarian assistance. Over 2/3 of those displaced are women and children who have been deprived of a formal education due to the war.



In rural areas of Syria, with the support of the European Union, the NGO WeWorld-GVC is working to support 118,310 individuals through education and improved access to safe and sufficient water.



Children are gaining access to education, while adults are specifically targeted with awareness campaigns on the importance of education services. In complementarity, communities are learning about the importance of hygiene and receiving access to clean water. The initiative is particularly attentive to the needs of the young, disabled, and displaced, ensuring that no one is left behind.
