Cycling for women – unfortunately not a matter of course!
Although there is a Kurdish autonomous government in the Syrian region of Rojava and women are therefore legally equal to men, the old role models still persistently shape society.
Our summary of the aid project in Rojava/Syria
So much hope in such a short time! Many thanks to all those who, as part of the Caravan of Humanity, have helped to make our aid project in Rojava a success.
Education creates the future
In the huge Washokani camp, which has become a new home for more than 16,000 internally displaced persons, there are of course thousands of children. By no means all of them have the opportunity to attend school.
Laughing together is boundless
On all our aid missions, it is very important to us to meet people at eye level and to give them hope and joie de vivre through our presence.
1,000 pairs of GEA Waldviertler shoes
Heini Staudinger supported us again this time with his company GEA Waldviertler and donated 1,000 pairs of his high-quality shoes "made in Austria".
Cuddly toys as companions for children
Around 16,000 Syrians who have been displaced from their home town live in the huge Washokani refugee camp in north-eastern Syria. Among them are thousands of children.
Made it: arrival of the truck in Syria!
After a 20-day journey, the time had finally come yesterday: our truck - filled with donations in kind from Austria and Germany - made it across the border to Syria!
Photovoltaic system for a clinic
With donations amounting to EUR 16,000, we were able to finance a large photovoltaic system with buffer storage for a hospital in the largest city in the Syrian region of Rojava.
Painting for the heart
In the huge refugee camps, the so-called "mobile painting room" is another important part of our work. We have already opened a total of seven painting rooms for around 500 children - that was a lot of creativity and fun!
We have arrived in Syria!
After a complicated four-hour border procedure, our aid team has now arrived safely in the Rojava region in north-eastern Syria.
