Reaching children affected by the Syria crisis
Children are disproportionately affected by conflict. Learn more about how the Syrian crisis is affecting children in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Syria, and what we are doing to help.
Since the beginning of the Syrian civil war and the massive humanitarian emergency it triggered, World Vision has supported an ever-increasing number of individuals and communities across four countries worst affected by the crisis: Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.
The conflict is unpredictable and each year is different. We are committed to reach all children affected to ease suffering and keep our promise to rebuild futures.
