Thousands of older people in Syria continue to face significant challenges, including ongoing humanitarian needs, displacement, and limited access to basic services due to years of conflict. They endure the risks alone, facing limited mobility, chronic illness, and extreme poverty. This project supports 1,000 of the most vulnerable older men and women by providing medicines, mobility aids, and adult diapers, ensuring they live with dignity, comfort ,and safety.
In Syria-exhausted by 14 years of conflict and shrinking resources-older people with limited mobility face severe health challenges, including a high burden of chronic diseases and difficulty accessing care. Displacement and ongoing conflict further increase their vulnerability, leaving them at serious risk from cold, hunger, and illness. WHO guidance and Sphere standards emphasize prioritizing older people, given their heightened risks from low temperatures and lack of mobility support
This project supports 1,000 older people living alone with tailored humanitarian assistance. It provides mobility aids (wheelchairs, walkers, commode chairs, air mattresses), older people's diapers. Field teams conduct regular visits to ensure safe use of items, do routine health monitoring, and identify new needs, ensuring dignity and protection.
This project ensures older people living alone receive essential healthcare support, medicines, and dignity-preserving mobility aids. By reducing vulnerability, strengthening social protection, and fostering inclusion, it addresses isolation, chronic health risks, and daily challenges. The initiative promotes safer, healthier, and more resilient communities, enabling older adults to live with dignity and security.
