Every child deserves a loving and supportive family.

What is our Emergency Shelter?

Our Interim Alternative Care Center in Azaz, northwest Syria, is a one-of-a-kind emergency shelter for unaccompanied and separated children. We provide every vulnerable child who comes through our doors with an interim home where they can heal, learn, and reunite with or find a family.  We are not an orphanage - we believe every child belongs in a supportive and loving family and not an institution.

Every day, our dedicated team offers these children comprehensive case management services and support, including: 

  • A nurturing home with dedicated caregivers who provide care, structure, and stability. 

  • Accelerated learning support enrollment to help them catch up on their education. 

  • Psychosocial support services to address trauma and emotional needs. 

  • Arrange health services to ensure their physical well-being. 

  • Facilitating family reunification or kinship care so every child has a loving and supportive family.
