More firewood for winter… We lost count offlaoding here! But it was 800 bags of firewood for FORTY families living in this location in the outskirts of Izmir, Turkey. Come dusk it was FREEZING. Families here had nothing but plastic and twigs from trees to burn. So when we cranked up the stove inside the …
It looks sunny, but winter is right here. We know what’s coming. We can try to avoid as best we can, the freezing cold nights. Sick kids. Whether living in a tent or a house, simple, basic wood heating makes a difference. Thanks to your donations, this truck load is for THIRTY families, around 200 …
I love this pic capturing a moment with Levi Lomey and Dakhil. Levi had picked up a silver 6 band puzzle ring from the old bizarre in Izmir and we were all having a go of trying to put it together but with no luck. It was Dakhil’s turn. Standing under the one light in …

From the bottom of everyone’s hearts, a big THANK YOU to those supporting families through Ramadan and Eid ❤❤ Donations of any amount go a long way to help us buy food for the traditional community feasts. For example, 10kgs of tomatoes for salads only costs £1 in Turkey. That’s right £1!
Today is world refugee day. Take a moment to think about the 20+ million refugees in the world today who have been forced to leave their countries and livelihoods behind. Today we think about what resilience and strength people have to go on after having lost so much. In new countries, new communities, new cultures, …
In this month of Ramadan, as the sunsets it will be the time for Iftar. Friends and family will gather to eat and celebrate the break of fast. Traditions are important for us all. We’ve been visiting Syrian families during Ramadan to share Iftar with a traditional feast. We’ll be doing the same during Eid …
We’re dedicated to helping refugees rebuild their lives. We do this by focusing on living conditions, livelihoods and community development that creates positive social impact and empowerment. It's about dignity, and being part of giving back.
