Winter Relief for Vulnerable Families in Need
This winter, countless families in Northern Syria and Jordan will confront the bitter cold and wetness without the essentials needed to stay warm and safe. For many, the drop in temperature isn’t just uncomfortable—it’s life-threatening. With winter temperatures plunging as low as -6°C (21°F) in some regions, snowstorms, freezing winds, and cold rains are common, especially for those living in makeshift shelters. After years of conflict and displacement, many families have lost their homes and access to even the most basic resources, making the harsh winter months a season of survival against the elements.
In response, SRD is providing immediate relief through Winter Care Packages for those in need. These packages are designed to equip families with the tools they need to protect themselves from the cold and minimize the risks posed by severe weather. The items included are thermal blankets, warm clothing and shoes —basic supplies that can make all the difference in enduring Syria and Jordan’s harsh winter conditions.
We are offering several donation options to help make an impact:
- Thermal Blankets: $10 each – Provide a shield against the biting cold, offering comfort and protection to those who need it most.
- Warm Clothing + Shoes: $40 each – Help families stay warm and dignified during the winter months, protecting them from the harsh elements.
- Combined Package: Blanket + Winter Clothing: $50 – A comprehensive kit to ensure families have both warmth and protection.
Your support is critical. By donating, you can help deliver warmth and safety to families struggling to survive. Together, we can provide immediate relief and restore hope to those facing the freezing cold. Join SRD in our effort to ensure no family is left unprotected this winter.

Help Build the University Training Hospital
In Northwestern Syria, the echoes of conflict are still heard, but so is the sound of hope. IUSR, the leading private university in the region, is more than an academic institution—it’s a lifeline for thousands of students who have faced unimaginable adversity. Our students are determined to rebuild their lives and their communities, despite having been displaced over 20 times in the past decade. They are studying to become the engineers, teachers, and business leaders who will lead Syria into a brighter future.
However, there’s a critical gap in our vision: healthcare. With healthcare infrastructure severely lacking, countless families are without access to proper medical care. That’s why we’re launching a campaign to build the iUSR University Hospital, a teaching hospital that will not only treat patients but also train the next generation of doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals. This hospital will be a beacon of hope and healing for the entire region.
Why This Matters
Addressing a Major Need: The people of Northwestern Syria need healthcare services now more than ever. By building this hospital, we’re creating a sustainable solution that will benefit countless families for generations to come.
Training the Next Generation: Our hospital will serve as a training ground for medical students who are committed to staying in Syria and rebuilding its healthcare system. This is sustainable development at its best—empowering local talent to create a healthier future.
Supporting a Resilient Community: Every donation helps us take a step closer to realizing a university hospital that will serve a community that’s endured incredible hardship. Your support not only builds a hospital, but it also builds hope.
We can’t do this without you. Our goal is to raise $500,000 to cover the construction costs of the iUSR University Hospital through donations, grants and gifts in kind.
Computer Lab for Elementary & Middle School Students
In the midst of adversity, a ray of hope emerges for the resilient young souls of Northern Syria. The Global School, located just outside Idlib, stands as a sanctuary of learning for 400 elementary students who have endured the trials of displacement, conflict, and even a recent earthquake. Many among them are orphaned, their lives marked by up to 20 displacements over the past 12 years.
Despite these challenges, their spirit remains unbroken, and now is our chance to make a lasting impact. We are launching a fundraising campaign to establish vital computer labs at the Global School. With 400 eager minds and only limited resources, these labs will provide the lifeline these children need to bridge the gap in their education due to the circumstances they’ve faced.
Our goal is to raise funds for 20 computers at $500 each, a small step that will create a giant leap in these children’s lives. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly contribute to providing these students with access to modern technology and a quality education. With computer labs, we aim not only to impart essential digital literacy skills but also to reignite a sense of normalcy and curiosity that every child deserves.
Your generosity will not only provide tangible resources but also send a powerful message of solidarity – showing these young survivors that the world cares deeply for their well-being and future.
Donate today and help us equip the Global School with the tools for a brighter tomorrow! Every contribution matters. Every child deserves a chance.
Back to School – Sponsor University Students
Help students in Syria return to school after over a decade of war, natural disaster and destruction.
High school graduates are unable to find opportunities to pursue higher education, and over 2.4 million students are unable to attend school at all. An entire generation’s growth, as well as Syria’s development, is at stake.
Education is a right, not a privilege.
Students who were forced to stop their education are now able to resume their studies at the International University of Science and Renaissance (I-USR), a private, nonprofit, hybrid online/campus-based university.
Help address the essential need for higher education as well as developmental education and training in Syria.
Education plays a vital role in any country’s growth and development, and it is one of the most underfunded sectors in the Syrian response. Health and Medical Sciences, Computer Information Engineering, Economics & Business Administration, and other vital topics are among the 20 undergraduate degrees offered.
YOUR SUPPORT WILL CHANGE LIVES
Your donation to I-USR will allow displaced Syrian students to continue their education, earn a degree, and build their future, as well as the future of Syria. Your help is greatly appreciated.
