Help Me Build Homes for Syrian Refugees

Assalamu Alaikum! If you follow me on Instagram, my handle is @Egyptianprince.98. I'm working with Human Concern International this Ramadan to move Syrian families out of tents and into stone homes. These homes will restore stability, dignity, and peace into the lives of displaced Syrians who have been living in tents since the inception of the war.  Together, we can affect change for the better! 

Village of Hope Project

Can you imagine being away from home, from your bed, and from all of your belongings for ten entire years?

Ten years after the conflict began in Syria, 6 million Syrians are displaced – forever removed from their homes.

HCI has been on the ground since the beginning of this crisis by offering help on various levels to bring stability back to the community.

This year, in addition to offering skills training programs, food baskets, water projects, orphan care, and health services, Human Concern International will assist in building an entire village. 

The village will provide Syrian refugees with a renewed sense of stability, dignity, and a new place to call home. 

The village offers families with their own houses, a mosque, a school for their children, and more.

Project Specifications

The village will have 500 homes for 500 families. A home is made up by two rooms, a kitchen, a washroom and a living room.

The village will be built in the northern Syria, but will be principally built in the region of Al-Bab or Afrin.

It’s a residential project which will have infrastructure and basic services like water, electricity, a mosque, a school for children, a hospital, businesses and green spaces to grow fruits and vegetables.

Children can finally catch up on the classes they missed and play peacefully in the school courtyard. Families will have access to medical professionals and essential health care services.

Technical Data and Project Outline: Village Planning

Homes

The cost of construction of a single home is $1,500, which includes part of the infrastructure.

A masjid has been built in the centre of the community for social gatherings, Jumu'ah, five daily prayers, Taraweeh, and more. The masjid is central to the village and will tie the community together.
