The strength of the Syrian people
Bahjat Azrie, a psychologist and coordinator of the Blue Marist Psychosocial Support Program in Aleppo, has expressed a forceful view of the current situation in Syria. In a recent media meeting in Madrid, he stated that the hope of the country is exclusively in its own population, reflecting a sense of distrust of external interventions.
Impact of war on Syrian society
From the beginning of the armed conflict in 2012, to the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime in 2024, Syria has suffered a deep crisis that has affected both its social structure and the economy. Azrie raises a difficult question: ‘How can people get up if they are immersed in new crises every day?’
The Paper Vital de Les NGO
In this context of chaos, non -governmental organizations have become a fundamental support for the local population. Its task is not only limited to providing immediate help, but also includes education and emotional support, essential elements for tackling an uncertain future.
Impact projects
Africa Marcitllach, in charge of projects by the region united by the region, reported on the 42 projects approved, with a total budget of 2.2 million euros. Since 2019, its presence in Syria has intensified, seeking to support a population that is in a situation of extreme vulnerability.
Refugees and their future
More than two million Syrians have found refuge in Lebanon, where they have been the beneficiaries of 32 united Mans -funded initiatives. These projects mainly focus on education, access to health services and psychological support, as well as the prevention of domestic violence, a problem that affects refugee families.
Adaptation to changes
Over the years, needs have evolved. Initially, the aid was focused on humanitarian assistance, but development projects are now being implemented that seek to provide families with the tools they need for self -sufficiency.
Initiatives for Youth and Women
Mans Unidas has been actively involved in supporting young adults, offering workshops that improve their skills and prepare them for the world of work. In addition, projects also include meeting spaces for women, both Muslim and Christian, recognizing their key role in reconstructing the country.
A message of hope
Despite the uncertainty that surrounds the future under the new Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa regime, Azrie concludes with an optimistic message. ‘Each morning is a new opportunity to improve, even in the most difficult circumstances. Survival can be tough but hope is essential to continue. ‘
