AKDN | Syria

AKF helps to improve farmers’ access to basic inputs, supports them to build resilience through cooperative models, and provides technical assistance and new technologies.

AKTC has assisted with the restoration of three citadels and their surrounding areas; revitalising historic cities, encouraging visitors and investing in urban planning and rehabilitation to catalyse further sustainable development.

AKDN has provided humanitarian assistance throughout the recent turmoil, delivering food, medicine and farming inputs, supporting new mothers and children, and training teams to respond to natural hazards.

Some of our early childhood development activities have continued during the crises, giving children a safe learning space. We have also helped to establish a national ECD networking group, which supports teachers and caregivers.

We provide professional development and nursing education, and help improve gender-responsive and inclusive learning environments.

AKDN works with communities in Salamieh to provide renewable energy, plant trees, train professionals in earthen architecture and promote green practices.

Since the crisis, our aim has been to support public health systems, adapt the community health programme as needed and build capacity for search, rescue, first aid and dealing with mass casualties.
