Through #CookForSYRIA you can raise essential funds for the children of Syria, while celebrating the country's fantastic culture and cuisine. After eight years of war, children and families in Syria still face violence, displacement, disease and starvation, with nearly 2 million children living in besieged or hard-to-reach areas. Over 2.6 million children live in precarious conditions as refugees in neighbouring Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq. There is no sign that war is ending. By supporting #CookForSYRIA you're directly helping UNICEF to provide aid to Syrian children, including life-saving food, medical care and clean water to children affected by the crisis. UNICEF also provides long-term care in the form of education and emotional support, with safe places for children to learn and play and helps these children put their lives back together.
