Story
Hello all!
I am trekking up Mount Snowdon with my friends at the University of Sheffield on November 9th to help all the unfortunate and disadvantaged in Syria. The atrocities that are going on is absolutely horrendous and every penny raised will make a massive amount of difference.
So, I ask you to give as much or as little as you can to help, support and provide aid for the much needed people of Syria.
I need to raise £350 but obviously I will try and raise more. We ALL need to try and do what little we can to help in which ever way possible.
I thank you for all your generous donations, it really is appreciated. I will keep this page updated regularly with the amounts raised.
Thank you very much.
Since the start of the conflict in March 2011:
- “More than 100,000 people have been killed in the conflict in Syria” - UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
- More than 2.1 million Syrians are hosted in the region placing unprecedented strain on the communities, infrastructure and services in host countries.
- There has been a massive escalation of arrivals in 2013 over one million Syrian refugees have registered as refugees since the beginning of 2013
- Women and Children make up three-quarters of the refugee population
- The vast majority of refugees are dependent on aid, arriving with little more than the clothes on their backs
- Since then, around 4 million Syrians also have been internally displaced within Syria.
By the end of the year it is estimated that half of the population of Syria will bein need of aid. This includes an anticipated 3.45 million Syrian refugees inside the country, many of whom will be displaced from their homes.
These figures are increasing day by day.
Aid is needed urgently. Your help is needed urgently.
