EDUCATION FOR SYRIAN REFUGEES
HOW YOU HELPED
Children’s lives are shaped by Education
More than 3.7 million school-age refugee children have no school to go to. Refugees are five times more likely to be out of school than the global average.
Refugees often live in regions where governments are already struggling to educate their own children. They face the additional task of finding school places and learning materials for tens of thousands of newcomers, who often do not speak the language of instruction.
More than half of the world’s out-of-school refugee children and adolescents are located in just seven countries and STC is operating in one of them, Turkey. Here, only 39 per cent of school-age Syrian refugee children and adolescents are enrolled in primary and secondary education.

OUR INTERVENTION
HOW YOU HELPED
To give you an insight, STC took two orphan refugees and sponsored all their school education needs.
The children are part of a small family that fled from Syria 8 years ago after losing their home and sadly their father to the conflict. Aged 8 and 9, along with their mother and two other siblings, they now live in the Southern Turkish town of Reyhanli close to the Syrian border.
In Sept 2018, with our support the two orphans were admitted into Ozel Reyhanli Sahika Kogeli, a private Turkish school and have been excelling in their studies. The school has a very high standard of education with a comprehensive curriculum and excellent facilities. We also facilitated their transport to and from school via the school minibus service.
