Almost two million Syrians are living in tents in Northern Syria. With thousands more families displaced in the aftermath of the devastating earthquakes, living conditions have worsened even further. Will you help us bring hope to Syria and rebuild?

Story

Turkey President promises to build over a million homes after the destruction of the Earthquake. But with Syria suffering just as much if not more... There is no way near that level of support for them. So let's dedicate some of our zakat and sadaqah to rebuild their homes - to rebuild their lives. “Verily, the believers are like bricks of a building, each part strengthening the other.” Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) Last year, Human Appeal completed our first town, building 272 homes for displaced Syrian families. This year, we have just rehomed 1,000 Syrian families in our new-build long-term accommodation in our new Al Zahoor Town, freeing up emergency shelters for the newly displaced. We are now already building town 3 to provide even more permanent housing for more Syrian families. With your help, we can build more homes for families displaced by the conflict and earthquakes. £3,000 - Build a home in Syria: provide a family of 5 with a sturdy, long-lasting home containing a living room, bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom. Each brick and steel home features a modern design, built to maximize privacy and comfort for families with two bedrooms, a kitchen, a lavatory, and a foyer. Homes are constructed on a concrete foundation and measure 5.87m x 6.37m providing a total living space of 37.5 square meters. The living space includes 6 square meters of green space and its own water tank too. Additionally, each house will be linked to the sewage system and drinking water network to ensure the provision of basic amenities to the residents. All homes are rated to last over 10 years. Together we can rehome Syrians, one family at a time. With each home we deliver to a Syrian family, we free up vital emergency accommodation, helping two families at this catastrophic time. Please help us expand this project and build more homes. A permanent solution to Syria’s uninhabitable camps When you donate £3,000, you’ll be directly helping to transform the future of an entire family. Your donation will get them out of tents – which leak in winter, and blister in summer – and into a permanent home in one of three apartment blocks that we’re building. Each home will have a bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom, as well as electricity and running water. This project will help earthquake survivors and families who have spent up to a decade living in unsuitable tents, struggling for warmth, water, and protection, to finally to have a place to call home, where they can begin to build a better future. Dedicate a Syrian Home in memory of a loved one Our unique Syrian Homes will be built with a plaque at the exterior, which can bear an inscription of your own name, the name of / in memory of a loved one, a family member or a message of your choice. A personalised report will also be delivered on completion of your home. Be a mercy to a Syrian family. It’s completely Zakat-applicable too, and you can calculate what you owe with our easy-to-use Zakat calculator.
