Across Syria, many people are slowly returning to their communities after years of displacement. But challenges remain immense, especially in rural areas where access to essential services is still extremely limited.
In this fragile context, women and children are among the most affected β facing insecurity, trauma, and a lack of support.
Thanks to the support of our local partner @iaco_sy , we continue our efforts to protect and welcome women and children in the rural town of Qabassin through Safe Haven Syria.
