Donate for Education

It is estimated that around 2.4 million Syrian children were deprived of education due to the civil war that erupted in 2011.

Those children are left to face a gloomy future as they have no place to compete in today’s competitive market. 

However, you can now contribute to changing their future by donating to the development of the learning system in underserved refugee camps.

The importance of education: Why supporting education matters

Education is indeed part and parcel of any civilized society. 

It is essential for cultivating well-educated citizens who know their rights and responsibilities.

Certainly, an educated citizen who knows the regulations and laws of his society will help shape a better future for it. 

Above all, education helps people get a better job, which helps with their self-development. 

Thus, they will be better equipped to build their communities. 

That is why it is essential that young people get the opportunity to receive a high-quality education that can equip them with the skills and capabilities they need in order to lead a successful life. 

The impact of poverty on education: How your donation can make a difference

Undoubtedly, poverty is one of the most dreadful obstacles standing in the way of improving the education system. 

Not only does it negatively affect the development of the education system because of the lack of financial resources, but it also affects children’s learning abilities.

In other words, poor children are more likely to suffer from cognitive and behavioral challenges that affect their learning abilities. 

For example, it is estimated that 7 in 10 children in low and middle-income countries are unable to read a simple text by the age of 10 years old. 

In addition, it is estimated that the civil war in Syria has forced  2.4 million children out of school. 

Therefore, your donations can make a huge difference in the lives of those children by providing them with the education they need in order to lead a better life ahead.

Types of education initiatives to support: From early childhood to adult learning

There are several education initiatives that could improve the learning system. These include:

1. Kindergarten- to 12th grade: Monitoring and internships and work-based learning opportunities.

2. Higher education: Monitoring and internships could help create opportunities for high-potential, low-income students to identify their career path through high school and college.

These kinds of initiatives can help improve the quality of education for underprivileged children across the Syrian refugee camps.

Creative ways to give: Beyond writing a check or making a one-time donation

There are many creative ways by which you can contribute to the education system for children in under-served refugee camps.

Apart from donating money, you can also make a difference in the lives of those children through the following:

• Donating your time and effort by volunteering to educate them, writing and reading, for example.

• Distributing food for breakfast and lunch among the refugee children.

• Giving new school uniforms to refugee students.

• Gifting children stationery supplies and school bags.

• Donating toys and games that can help children in their learning process.

Maximizing your impact: How to ensure your donation goes as far as possible

You can help maximize the impact of your donations through several approaches. Some of these are:

1. Spreading the word about the importance of donating to the development of the education system in the refugee camps.

2. Sharing the link of the donation on our social media accounts.

3. Reminding our close social circles of family members, friends, colleagues, and coworkers of the importance of donating to the educational cause.

Sharing the message: Encouraging others to support education through donations 

Sharing the message of the importance of education among Syrian refugees is very crucial. This is because education is the only weapon those children can be endowed with to lead successful lives.

Education is also essential for those children to be of service to their societies and overcome the harsh challenges they are now facing in their war-stricken country.

Thus, it is incumbent upon all of us to spread awareness of the importance of educating those children.

Now you can help those children by supporting our mission at Bonyan Organization to help build an optimistic future for those children.

Remember that your small contributions can completely transform the lives of those disadvantaged children.
