Help Children Foundation supports the organization Claus-Peter Reisch – Hilfe für Menschen in Not gGmbH in setting up an educational project in the Syrian refugee camp Summer 2022

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:

Help Children Foundation supports Lands Aid together with 3Musketiere and sea rescuer Claus-Peter Reisch November 2021

This relief operation mainly affects refugee camps around the megacity of Izmir in Turkey. There are many unofficial camps of mainly Syrian women with children who have settled in camps they have set up themselves. Although they are tolerated, they do not receive any state aid and have neither work nor money.

Help Children Foundation has contributed to the financing of stoves, food and hygiene articles so that the families in the tents are provided with the bare essentials and have a source of heat in their tents that can keep them reasonably warm over the winter.

Below are some pictures of the distribution campaigns:

Aid packages for Syrian refugee children April 2021

In April 2021, survival packages were once again distributed in refugee camps around Idlib and Aleppo in collaboration with kids to life. The packages contain basic foodstuffs and warm blankets, toys and learning materials for the children, as well as masks and hygiene products that are urgently needed in the camps.

It was once again a great pleasure for the Help Children Foundation to receive and distribute the aid so directly, even though the situation in the camps is anything but pleasant. However, the children and their families are happy about any help that is given to them.

Below are some pictures of this campaign:

A school project has also been set up and support provided for it, such as classrooms, learning materials and school equipment for teaching and the children.

It is one of the biggest problems that the children in the camps do not receive an education and thus a lost generation is being formed. This lost generation is naturally very susceptible to being used as soldiers later on, as without education they have almost no prospects for the future. This is why school education is so fundamentally important for the children.

Aid packages for Syrian refugee children April 2020

In cooperation between the Help Children Foundation and kids to life, survival packages have once again been distributed to refugee camps around Idlib and Aleppo. As always, the packages contained basic foodstuffs and warm blankets, toys and learning materials for the children, as well as masks and hygiene products to help contain the pandemic situation, especially in the camps.
The aid packages were received with great gratitude and joy.
We at the Help Children Foundation are delighted with every donation that goes directly to the children and their families.
