Bringing Syrian children back to school: the new goal for 2022

Allowing 1000 Syrian children to return to school: this is one of the objectives that COOPI Suisse intends to achieve in the near future thanks to the project to promote education in Syria.

According to the needs analysis for the education sector, in Syria, many children do not attend school; in some areas, thresholds of 35% are even reached. The reasons are many: structures that are no longer there, because they have been destroyed or damaged, the poverty of families, often displaced. The most worrying data are for children between the ages of 12 and 18 and for children living in conditions of disability.

The project intends to support the education of the new Syrian generations living in the most fragile communities through targeted actions, possible thanks to the presence of our supporters.

Our goal is to bring back to school 1,000 children who today spend their days on the street, subjected to the risk of exploitation and violence. To do this, COOPI Suisse is committed to restoring school facilities through the maintenance and supply of furniture, school kits, books, desks but also recreational materials. In addition to the educational ones, there will also be collateral activities, fundamental to give the little Syrians the opportunity to attend school: from awareness-raising and protection campaigns to combat Covid-19 and to provide psychosocial support to the most fragile categories, to those of promotion for re-educate citizenship when their children return to school.

Fundamental rights for the children of Syria which we will be able to guarantee thanks to your support.
