Syria: cold and frost without heating

After ten years of conflict, electricity in Syria is only available for two or three hours a day. The Syrian government has announced the removal of subsidies needed to purchase basic goods, such as bread, rice, sugar, oil, gas and heating fuel.

TAKE ACTION

There is no light nor hope in the rubble of Syria

10 years of war

In March 2011, the bloody conflict in Syria began, which caused what the Pope called “one of the most serious humanitarian catastrophes of our time”: 350,000 victims, including over 27,000 children, 5.5 million refugees and an entire country reduced to a pile of rubble.

The economic crisis

Sanctions, tariffs and then the pandemic plunged Syria into a frightening economic crisis. 90% of the population lives below the poverty line and many families are forced to make children work to survive.

Hunger

While with inflation prices
they increased dramatically, salaries remained the same. Today two salaries are no longer enough even to cover expenses
for food, families are forced to hunger and for a little bread they have to queue for hours.

… And now the darkness

In Syria, electricity is available for 2 hours a day only, for the
rest of the time everything is dark. With diesel prices soaring, in fact, families cannot afford to turn on electric generators or heating.

Let’s rekindle hope together

The only possible intervention to guarantee long-term help is the installation of systems with solar panels that make families autonomous in terms of energy. For this reason, our goal is to provide them with a system with two solar panels, one photovoltaic and the other thermal, to ensure a constant and free supply of electricity and hot water.
