Safe spaces for Syrian refugee children

As the Syrian civil war rages on, millions of Syrian refugees are displaced and in need of help, but humanitarian agencies have received less than half of the funding they need to provide basic refugee assistance. Foundation Beyond Belief’s Humanist Crisis Response program is raising funds for International Rescue Committee to support their Syrian refugee relief efforts. To contribute, click here. As of Tuesday morning, our humanist community has raised $8,485 for this crisis.

International Rescue Committee works to great a safe space and structure for displaced Syrian children. They are working to ensure that all children in refugee camps have access to education and essential services. This video shows the work they’re doing with refugee children, and the necessity of providing safe, healing spaces for children suffering from trauma.
