Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am fundraising for Al Madad Foundation through Cycle4Schooling because they work tirelessly to promote education and literacy for disadvantaged and refugee children. In the past year alone they have successfully reached over 700 internally displaced children living in abandoned schools in Aleppo, Syria, who have been out of school for three years, since the start of the conflict. Their approach has been to fight against the growing lost generation within the country by making schooling accessible to children aged 4-19, building capacity within the school itself by employing qualified refugees as teachers.
Money raised through the cycle will help the Foundation to maintain these two sites for as long as necessary, and to expand their projects to two more sites in the area, reaching another 700 children. The results have been excellent so far, with older children given the opportunity to resume their studies and achieve their qualifications, and younger children beginning their education, learning to read and write and having the opportunity to express themselves creatively. The return to routine, discipline and normalcy has had a tremendous impact upon the schools’ communities, with improved harmony and positivity within what was once a very difficult environment.
Please support me on my journey from London to Oxford by giving to the cause – every penny you donate will go directly to the projects on the ground and will help build a brighter future for Syria’s children.
