The refugee crisis is back in the headlines after the latest surge of airstrikes and attacks on civilians in Aleppo. More than 11 million people have fled their homes in Syria since the war began in 2011, and the number of people suffering is growing each day.

Our staff has witnessed the growing need for support firsthand while visiting Syrian refugees in Greece and Turkey. We visited projects run by our vetted partners, who are supporting real heroes emerging from the crisis like Ziad (pictured above), a father who created a classroom in a refugee camp. Before fleeing Syria, he’d never taught before—he owned a restaurant. But now he’s doing what he can to provide education to children with no other option.

Like Ziad, we can’t just stand by. We all have to do something.

Heroes like Ziad need your support now more than ever. Stand with them today by making a donation to the Syrian Refugee Relief Fund.

Our Syrian Refugee Relief Fund supports 40 nonprofits in 11 countries who are on the ground providing emergency relief and support where it’s needed most. We thoroughly vet each nonprofit so you can be sure your donation will be put to good use, and you’ll get regular updates so you’ll know exactly how your donation is making an impact.

Please give today. Together, we can reach our $2 million goal to support the heroes—families, volunteers, and survivors of war—behind the headlines.

Thank you for standing with those in need,
Janica Mumma + the GlobalGiving Team
