In Syria, the conflict came without warning. Armed groups entered Tamam's village and cut off the electricity and running water. Crops and animals were lost, and food became scarce. Then, one day, Tamam’s husband died too. With no other option, she took her children and they ran for their lives. A few precious photographs is all that remains of their previous life.

Center, is in the heart of the settlement. They provide schooling, trauma counselling and healthcare, as well as business training. Tamam was invited to join their sewing programme.

Her new skills now provide her with an income, and she can feed her family. Tamam plans to open a workshop to teach others. Now she dreams of the better life she is building for her children. 

Every £252 we raise could help to provide 3 families like Tamam's with life-saving support to rebuild their lives.
