With generous support from Qatari people, Qatar Charity continues its humanitarian efforts to support the most vulnerable groups in northern Syria. It launched the "Our Children's Safety" project in partnership with the Syrian Forum in Azaz City. The project aims to enhance the protection of children affected by crises and provide a safe and supportive environment for them and their families.
The project's launch coincides with the upcoming Second World Summit for Social Development in Doha next week. The topics to be discussed include comprehensive policies that promote fair opportunities for all and accelerate efforts towards social inclusion.
Project Activities
The project benefits more than 3,900 children, families, and caregivers annually through a range of integrated activities, including psychosocial support sessions, awareness programs on child protection issues, and training sessions for mothers and fathers, in addition to providing case management services for children most at risk.
The project also includes the implementation of a "Learning Through Play" program to enhance children's social and emotional skills and support the integration of children with disabilities. It also aims to improve the readiness of the Child Protection Center in Azaz and provide the necessary equipment to ensure the continuation of high-quality services.
An Urgent Need
Mr. Mohammed Barakat, Deputy Director of Social Affairs and Labor in Aleppo, stated during the opening ceremony: "This program is very important at this stage, especially since children are exposed to various risks, such as the remnants and effects of war, the loss of parents, and possibly the loss of a breadwinner. Affected cases are in dire need of such centers that compensate for what they lost during the past years of war. Many thanks to Qatar Charity, the Syrian Forum, and the generous supporters in Qatar for establishing such centers."
For his part, Mr. Karam Ali, Director of Qatar Charity's office in Turkey, commented on the launch of the project, saying, "It comes within Qatar Charity's strategy aimed at protecting children's rights and improving their psychological and social well-being in crisis areas, in line with its humanitarian principles of childcare and mitigating the impact of conflict on communities." He thanked the charitable people of Qatar for supporting this vital and important project.
