The well publicised civil war in Syria rages on……

The crisis now well into its third year, has taken its toll.

U.W.T’s ground force have been witness to the terrible situation that is the Syrian crisis. Deteriorating conditions in the country have seen many millions suffering and more people join them every day.  Widows, orphans, families, elderly now populate the many displacement camps and relief centres.

A great example of U.W.T's great work inside of Syria has been to establish a camp in Sarmada (close to Bab ulHawa), The primary aim is to support widowed and orphaned families. The camp houses around 100 families and caters for their every need.

The community has a masjid (prayer facilities), free schooling for children and segregated sanitation facilities. A newly-drilled borehole, has enabled families to have permanent access to a clean water supply. To name a few provisions that have been  made for Families they now have shelter, mattresses, clothing, blankets, kitchen utensils, hygiene kits, fresh and cooked food. (These are all basic things that we take for granted)

U.W.T continues to deliver over and above these basic needs.
