Comprehensive Education and Support Initiatives
Our commitment to education goes beyond traditional schooling, encompassing innovative programs that respond to the unique challenges faced by vulnerable populations in conflict-affected regions. This year, we have implemented several transformative initiatives that empower communities and nurture resilience.
Family Center in Qamishli
In 2019, Syriac Cross established the Family Center in Qamishli to provide vital support to women, children, and other vulnerable groups affected by conflict and displacement. Through practical skills training, psychosocial support, and community-building activities, the center empowers women to achieve independence while helping children recover from trauma.
The center offers courses in first aid, sewing, computer skills, and art therapy, while music and language lessons foster children’s confidence and self-expression. A safe play area and educational excursions further create a nurturing environment for learning and growth.
By employing local professionals, the initiative strengthens the community and contributes to economic stability. Continued support is essential to sustain these programs and expand the center’s reach, ensuring a lasting impact for those who rely on its services
