As the number of Syrians forced to flee the country's civil war
continues to grow, one number stays the same — half of them are
children.
There are over 2 million Syrian refugee children. And every day,
thousands more kids are ripped from their homes and schools, left with
painful memories of violence and confusion over what they've lost.
Mercy Corps has been focused on protecting these youngest refugees
since the start of the crisis. We create safe spaces and develop
constructive activities to help them heal from trauma, build friendships
and develop critical life skills.
while continually finding new ways to ensure their emotional health and development are not forgotten.
The reality is that we don't know when this crisis will end. But when
it does, these children will be the ones left to rebuild their lives
and their country. We cannot let them lose hope.
These are stories from the children we've met and the staff who are
dedicated to helping them. Now is the time you can make a huge
difference in their lives. Let's stand together and do everything we can
to protect the future of Syria's children.
