After more than a decade of war and a devastating earthquake in 2023, Syria continues to experience one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises . Over 90% of the population survives below the poverty line , with a collapsing economy, widespread unemployment, and severely compromised health and education services. Political instability and social fragmentation further exacerbate living conditions, forcing millions to depend on humanitarian aid.
Children are among the hardest hit : deprived of childhood and fundamental rights, often forced into early labor and deprived of access to education, healthcare, and a safe environment. Job loss and a lack of opportunities have driven many Syrians to leave the country. However, many want to stay, rebuild, and contribute to Syria’s future through work and a decent income.
AMU announces the launch of a series of events dedicated to Syria , with the aim of raising funds and raising awareness about the situation the country continues to face. Robert Chelhod, President of the Seeds of Hope Council , which manages all projects supported by AMU and the Focolare Movement’s Emergency Coordination Unit, will be present at the meetings . Robert will provide a direct update on the progress of ongoing initiatives and the current situation.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the results achieved and future prospects, as well as make a concrete contribution through the fundraising campaign to support healthcare, after-school programs, and active citizenship projects in various Syrian cities. The tour represents an opportunity for dialogue and learning, as well as a moment of concrete solidarity, to continue building paths of hope and development.
