A new project for WATAN to get children back into schools

Watan

Thousands of Syrian children dropped out of primary education for years due to war and found themselves on the streets. We were able to send thousands of children back to school in cooperation with UNICEF and Saed Charity.

Our “Returning Children To Schools” project offers official and unofficial education services in the countryside of Idlib. We allocated heating materials for schools as the number of beneficiaries have reached 7335 child and teacher.

As per a UNICEF report, half of Syrian children do not know anything but violence for nearly eight years. 29% of children have left school since the war which is approximately 4 million children.
