What's happening now?
World Vision has already been able to help people caught up in the Syrian crisis, thanks to the generosity of our donors.
There are already operations in Lebanon, Jordan and within Syria, but the need is great and ongoing.
With the public’s support, it is our aim to raise $1 million in the month of October so that relief can be provided where it is needed most.
What will World Vision do with the $1 million?
We will be using these funds to help those who need it most in Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.
The projects may vary depending on what is needed most at the time, but so far World Vision has provided things like the following:
-
Access to clean water for drinking, washing and cooking
-
Shelter for families
-
Distribution of stoves, which double up as heating as well as cooking facilities
-
Essential hygiene items, such as nappies, toothpaste, tissues and other essentials
-
Education catch-up classes for children who have missed out on months, and sometimes years, of school
-
Safe spaces for mothers, children and teenagers
-
Primary healthcare
-
Cash assistance for urgent needs
