Syria

In 2011 the civil war gave rise to an ongoing conflict that has caused a catastrophic humanitarian crisis. Millions have suffered psychological and bodily injuries, and over a million lives have been lost. Massive displacement has puts pressure on neighboring nations and Europe, resulting in one of the biggest refugee crises in history. Syria is devastated by the fighting and desperately needs international assistance, made worse by the country's economic collapse and the recent earthquake.

Zakat Foundation has contributed over $13 million through the Emergency Relief Program to support distressed Syrians. Additional investments in Refugee Empowerment and Health & Wellbeing services aim to assist those affected. Eight primary and secondary schools provide education, employing nearly 150 staff members. The Orphan Care Program enrolls orphans, offering full sponsorship for their needs. Urgent medical care, including COVID-19 response, is provided inside Syria. Your compassionate generosity is crucial as the needs of Syrians, both inside and outside the country, continue to escalate.
