Our good news of the week! With your help, we raised €600 to buy much needed winter aid for five families of Syrian refugees: a CARE Package including a stove, fuel, blankets and winter clothing for a family of six costs €120.

 

More than 13 million Syrians are currently on the run. Most of them have been on the road for months and own little more than the summer clothes they wore when they left their homes. Neighboring countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey or Egypt have long reached their limits. Bridges, tents built from garbage or empty shell constructions serve as accommodation for entire families, as only a small part finds refuge in camps.

With your help, CARE assists Syrian refugee in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey to better protect themselves against the cold. CARE visits refugees in their homes and provides them with much needed help: blankets, winter clothes, shoes as well as stoves and fuel. CARE staff member Johanna Mitscherlich has been working with refugees in Jordan for over a year: “I can barely describe the misery I experience here on a daily basis – nor the happiness and relief triggered by a warm blanket.”

These are some of the pictures that helped us finance the project:
