Back to School – A strong education project for the forgotten Syrian refugee children in Turkey
Around 150,000 Syrians live in temporary “settlements” on the Turkish Mediterranean coast. Of these, around 113,000 are women and children. The care situation is dramatic, they fall through all the cracks and for the most part receive no official support.
Help Children Foundation supports the organization Claus-Peter Reisch – Hilfe für Menschen in Not gGmbH, which, together with its partners Landsaid e.V. and IMECE, will bring around 400 Syrian refugee children closer to school over the next three years.
These children have never seen a kindergarten or a school in their life of hardship, as most of their parents can only speak and write Arabic. As a result, they have virtually no chance of attending regular classes.
We want to change this to give these children a chance for the future.
With your and our support, a disused coach is to be converted into a rolling classroom, equipped and maintained.
You are welcome to participate and support the bus by specifying the keyword “school bus” with your donation.
Here are some pictures of school lessons already taking place:
