Action Syria

Action Syria works with local organisations in Syria and neighbouring countries to ensure Syrian communities have the medical care and education they need, every day and when emergencies strike — helping them rebuild with health, opportunity and hope.

Meet Limar

Meet Limar
Limar is eleven years old. Following the fall of the Assad regime and after years of displacement, she and her family returned home to Eastern Ghouta, near Damascus. She was excited to go back to school, but it wasn’t the safe place she hoped for.

Unsafe schools

Unsafe schools
Across Syria, years of conflict have left thousands of schools damaged or unusable. Overcrowded classrooms and missing basic facilities are pushing many children — like Limar, and especially girls — out of education.

Rebuilding education

Rebuilding education
Action Syria not only helps children return to learning but supports teachers and provides psychosocial care for children affected by displacement. A gift today ensures more children like Limar can learn safely again, and build brighter futures.
