Project Report | Dec 31, 2024
Alsama thrives against all odds

By Helen Vost | Managing Director, Youth Sport Trust International

The education of young Syrian refugees in Beirut by the Alsama Project has continued in Beirut in spite of the war.  Now it is hoped that the ceasefire will become permanent and the New Year will be a peaceful one.

When the bombing of Beirut began at the end of September, some of the refugee camps were evacuated and many refugee families returned to Syria.  Such was the determination of the Alsama Project though that education - normally the first casualty of war - conitnued online for the students who remained in Beirut and then many made their way back.  Their love of cricket continues to flourish and helps to raise aspirations.

Youth Sport Trust International looks forward, with your help, to providing ongoing support in 2025 to improve the lives of young refugees through sport.  THANK YOU
