EMPOWERING EDUCATION IN RAQQA: A LIFELINE FOR CHILDREN IN NEED

The absence of schools in the Raqqa area and further afield has left many children without proper education. For this reason, there is a very visible and urgent need for educational support and for funding to enable children to obtain their right to a proper education.

Since 2022, the SRRF has committed to funding the Mahmoudli Camp Formal Primary School – providing formal education for over 950 children until summer 2025. As well as providing; teaching, administrative support and the maintenance of classrooms, our funding will also enable the school to connect to a sustainable sources of both water and electricity. In Sept 2024, we replaced all the tents that were being used as classrooms with pre-fabricated units that make for a much more comfortable learning experience as in the summer it gets to over 40 degrees Celsius and in winter it drops below freezing.
