At the close of the year, an unprecedented 15.3 million individuals required humanitarian assistance, a figure projected to escalate significantly in 2024. Approximately half of this population comprises women and girls.
Despite this extremely challenging situation and the fear of escalation throughout the entire region, our Aleppo's centers continue to welcome women and children, who, as Shereen narrates, are "no longer in the dark, but by studying and learning, they open their eyes and see the light".
Shereen was illiterate, and her children had almost immediately dropped out of school. Upon hearing about the "One Name, One Future" project, she became intrigued and enrolled herself and her children, despite her husband's initial skepticism.
"When I sat there and learned the alphabet, the sentences and the words I didn't know, I felt very happy. It was as if I got a college degree".
Her life and that of her family have changed drastically thanks to the experience at the center. Shereen smiles, sharing that now she can read WhatsApp messages or instructions on medicines.
"I hope that I will raise this baby girl I'll be having well, God willing. And most importantly, never deprive her of her education".
The difficulties in Syria are countless, but with your support, we can ensure a different future for many more women and children in Aleppo!
