Orphan Programme
Our Orphan Programme looks after children in northern Syria providing them with food, shelter and education. We have partnered with Action for Humanity (formerly Syria Relief) in order to deliver this programme. £50 will feed, educate and shelter an orphan for a month, £600 for a whole year.
“ “The sponsorship has been a lifeline. With the monthly stipend I have been able to cover a large part of the expenses of the children and I am now no longer out on the streets trying to secure my next job” She went on to say “all I can do is to extend my sincere thanks not only for the sponsorship but for giving my child attention and love””
Zakaria, left, is the youngest of seven siblings. His father, Ahmed died in 2016 in shelling near Idlib in north west Syria. Since then, Zakaria’s mother, Wafaa has been the sole provider to the family, she is jobless and has no means of feeding the family except for the support they receive from SRRF.
With no family to support them and in desperate need of help, thousands of children fled their homes without their parents, some as young as 9 are having to take full responsibility for their younger siblings.
Others are being looked after by an elderly grandparent, with little means of providing for their grandchildren, or by well-meaning neighbours whose own households are already under great pressure. Our orphan sponsorship package covers all aspects of essential care, including food, healthcare and education.
