Syria
Context of the region
Syria has a population of approximately 27 million, including 5 million refugees and 6 million internally displaced people. 15.6 million people, or 60% of the population, are in need of humanitarian assistance. Only 8.6 million Syrians received aid in 2026. Humanitarian needs include access to healthcare, food, safe drinking water, and essential services. The country is undergoing a political transition following the fall of Assad, but remains mired in a massive economic and humanitarian crisis.
In 2025, an agreement was reached between Damascus and the Kurdish authorities, providing for the integration of local institutions, shared control over resources, and recognition of Kurdish rights. Damascus continues to favour a unified state. The region remains fragile, facing political tensions, pressure from Turkey, the presence of ISIS detention camps and prisons, and significant socioeconomic challenges.
In 2026, northwestern Syria, particularly the governorates of Idlib and Aleppo, remains one of the country’s most vulnerable regions in humanitarian terms. Despite the return of displaced populations, needs remain acute due to widespread destruction, poverty, limited access to essential services, and the impact of severe weather.
Psychosocial support & medical assistance program for displaced children
The Colorfull Syria psychosocial support programs were launched in 2012 by training teams of facilitators for child-friendly centers welcoming children traumatized by the war, many of whom are internally displaced with their families in Kamishli, Kobané, Raqqa, and Manbij.
Given the situation, only Raqqa remains operational, directly benefiting nearly 50 children.
In Raqqa, with our partner Save Land, we work inside the Sahlat al Banat displacement camp.
Our work combines psychosocial support and medical follow-up for roughly 600 children living in the camp, most of whom work on the local garbage dump.
This informal camp brings together displaced Arab and Kurdish families who fled areas of conflict.
Health conditions are extremely poor, with 53% of children suffering from malnutrition—33% in the severe stage according to our recent assessment—and numerous cases of scabies and cholera.
Regular medical check-ups are conducted, along with distributions of hygiene kits and sessions providing nutritional guidance to parents.
Program fundings
We are seeking €60,000 for this programme to support the Raqqa Psychosocial Centre, continue medical consultations and the distribution of hygiene kits in the Sahlat al-Banat camp and at the Raqqa public landfill, and launch a new project in Aleppo.
Indeed, Solinfo will soon be supporting a psychosocial and healthcare centre in Aleppo in partnership with the NGO DAR. We are currently working with this partner to move the project forward, which includes the rehabilitation of the premises and the provision of technical support to the healthcare centre serving women and children returning from exile.
Our Syrian partners
Our partners are the Syrian NGOs “DAR” in Aleppo and “Save Land” in Raqqa.
