We at Human Care Syria have been approached with this urgent request from a school in East Aleppo. The school has run out of funds to continue operating and we have decided to take on the challenge of running the school and raising the funds necessary because we understand how critical the situation is.
Since the start of the Syrian crisis 4 Million Syrian children are out of school and not receiving their basic human right to an education.
What does this mean for the community around East Aleppo?
This school is the only school in the area, serving 900 students (aged 5-14) in the community. If it shuts down the children will be at risk of traveling to another school and traveling inside Aleppo is a very dangerous risk at this present time! This will inevitably make parents keep their children at home. It will also mean a loss of jobs for teachers and maintenance staff.
One year running cost is £49,000 (covering 28 classrooms/double shift school).
