Why does Syria need your support?

The ongoing conflict in Syria has left over 15 million people in desperate need of assistance. Aid Pioneers is dedicated to supporting local organizations, with teams working tirelessly to provide medical aid in northwest Syria.

  • Since 2011, Syria has witnessed unprecedented levels of violence. Currently, countless civilians find themselves trapped in perpetual conflict zones, with a staggering 15.3 million in desperate need of humanitarian aid. In early February 2023, a devastating earthquake shook communities in northern Syria, further worsening the already dire situation.

  • The demand for medical assistance escalates with each attack, as the healthcare system's ability to deliver care diminishes day by day. The already fragile healthcare infrastructure has been further weakened by the recent destruction of crucial hospitals and clinics, making it exceedingly difficult for Syrians to tend to the wounded.

Aid Pioneers’ response

Aid Pioneers' partner with the most effective local organizations in the countries we’re aiding. Our local partner organizations currently reach over 140 hospitals in northwest Syria.

As violence, displacement, poverty, and the recent earthquake continue to afflict Syria, Aid Pioneers is taking action by: 

  1. Supporting essential health services in affected areas through partnerships with global and local organizations, ensuring the uninterrupted flow of critical medical supplies and equipment. 

  2. Providing vital assistance to the 1.5 million Syrian refugees in Lebanon who are largely without support from the Lebanese government. They primarily rely on healthcare services and educational programs operated by local NGOs. 

Local Partners

  • Hand in Hand for Aid and Development (HIHFAD) provides essential on-the-ground support to civilians. The organization envisions a world where barriers are dismantled, and communities are empowered and self-reliant. HIHFAD remains resolute in its commitment to not leave anyone behind, even in the most challenging and remote areas.

  • The Independent Doctors Association (IDA) is a non-governmental organization that operates independently, providing medical and humanitarian aid to individuals affected by conflicts, natural disasters, and epidemics. IDA also actively advocates for the safeguarding of civilians, hospitals, and healthcare workers, as well as unhindered humanitarian access.
