This project supports a recovery home for 25 older people in northwest Syria who have been affected by the earthquake. The home offers dignified shelter, essential services like food and nursing care, and psychosocial and physical rehabilitation. By addressing their physical and emotional needs, this initiative provides safety, health, and a sense of belonging to the most vulnerable elderly individuals.
Older people in northwest Syria face immense challenges due to displacement, poverty, and the devastating earthquake. Many have been deserted or lack family support, leaving them without basic necessities or medical care. Overcrowded camps exacerbate their struggles, and the absence of tailored services for their age and health needs further isolates them, making their already vulnerable lives even harder.
SEMA's recovery home offers a lifeline to elderly individuals by providing dignified shelter and comprehensive support. Residents receive daily care, including food, clothing, nursing, and medical attention. Physical rehabilitation sessions and psychosocial support help improve their well-being, while outreach teams extend these services to those in need in surrounding areas, ensuring no one is left behind.
The recovery home fosters long-term resilience by ensuring the physical and emotional well-being of older residents. Through rehabilitation and psychosocial support, it helps restore their dignity and independence. By raising awareness of their rights and addressing their needs, this initiative also creates a sustainable model for supporting elderly individuals in crisis, building a more compassionate community.
