From Rubble to Renewal: Rebuilding Lives in Syria

Project Report | Jul 15, 2026
Sending them back home in comfort

By Samy Refaat | Relations Officer

Dear Supporter,

Syria is rising from the rubble. Families are returning home after years of displacement, and for the first time in a long time, hope is taking root.

But returning doesn't mean life is easy. Homes, schools, and entire neighborhoods were destroyed. Families are starting over with nothing.

Your support changes that. Thanks to your donations, we've been restoring the electrical grid in affected communities—bringing light back to thousands of homes. With the help of your contributions and GlobalGiving, SGI has helped Syrian families leave refugee camps and return to their villages with functioning electricity. Click HERE for the video.

We've attached photos of our team at work, turning rubble into renewal.

Syria still needs us. With your continued support, families can rebuild their lives—and their country.

With gratitude,

The Smile Givers International Team
