Education offers far more than knowledge – it gives children a sense of normality and the psychological support to help cope with the disruption they’ve experienced. By investing in educational initiatives that are locally driven and designed to last, AKDN is helping lay the foundations for Syria’s recovery.
Alongside local communities and international partners, we create inviting, well-resourced spaces where children can study, play and feel safe. We support teachers and caregivers to help them learn and interact. With practice building relationships across the community, and the skills needed for professional life, older students gain the tools to build a future for themselves and their country.
The Ismaili Imamat and AKDN have pledged €100 million over two years to help address Syria’s needs. Read more.
