After our initial expansion into Syria earlier this year, SSSP has once again brought joy to children in need. Thanks to a generous donation of 400 brand-new sports shoes, we embarked on a journey to distribute these gifts to the children of Syria. Although delays turned what was meant to be a New Year’s gift into summer rewards, the happiness on the children’s faces made it all worthwhile.

Below, we share the story of the three stages of our shoe distribution, bringing smiles and hope to children across Syria:

Stage 1: Grandpa school🏫✨
Our first stop was Grandfather’s Classroom, where we distributed 186 pairs of shoes to “committed students” chosen for their long-term attendance, serious attitude, and excellent performance. With support from Syrian volunteers who wore vests with the SSSP logo, we ensured that the shoes reached those who deserved them the most. Parents were overjoyed, expressing gratitude for bringing such happiness to their children. 🥰

Stage 2: Al-Shami Camp⛺💗
The second distribution took us to Al-Shami Camp near the Syrian-Turkish border. Here, we provided 120 pairs of shoes to internally displaced children. Many of the children in this camp have special needs, with physical and mental health issues resulting from the war. The smiles on their faces, despite their challenging conditions, were a testament to their resilience. 🥰

Stage 3: Al-Mubdi’een Center & Nabd Al-Shifa Center💖👫
Finally, we reached the Mubdi’een Center and Nabd Al-Shifa Center, where we distributed 50 and 44 pairs of shoes, respectively. Al-Mubdi’een focuses on children with special needs and autism, while Nabd Al-Shifa provides education to orphaned and non-orphaned children, focusing on both religious and academic studies. These centers serve some of the most vulnerable, and our contribution reminded them that they are seen and valued. 💖

SSSP is proud to continue extending our support to different parts of Syria. A single smile is the beginning of hope, and we remain committed to fueling these small flames with kindness and education. 🔥
