Syria remains one of the world’s most complex and protracted humanitarian crises As of 2023, 15.3 million Syrians (70%) require humanitarian assistance. Of these, 12 million are food insecure. The conflict has devastated the economy, disrupted domestic food production, destroyed vital infrastructure, and damaged social capital. Amidst these challenges, Syrians are affected by multiple shocks and/or stresses, which often vary in duration, intensity, and complexity. As these shocks are compounded and continuous, short-term humanitarian assistance is insufficient to help people become resilient in the longer term and requires a nexus approach that links the immediate relief efforts with a longer-term recovery.
We measure our results through rigorous surveys, evaluations, and community feedback. Challenges are addressed openly, and donors can see the full story in our Annual Progress Reports.
To achieve our vision, SRI implements multiple programmes across the country including:
programme that funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) between 2022 to 2027. BLRS works with Syrians to rebuild and improve their livelihoods through agriculture, livestock, small businesses, and vocational trades, with a focus on the smallholder producers, in (areas) to increase their resilience to environmental pressures.
is funded by Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) between (years). SRS addresses critical priorities in food security, climate and environment, and gender equality and complements BLRS program interventions in Al-Hasakeh governorate in Northeast Syria (NES), and Aleppo governorate in Northwest Syria (NWS).

100% of Cash-for-Work households increased income; 88% improved living conditions.
After his injury, Bassam struggled to feed his four children. Through SRI’s cash-for-work, he earned enough to cover school supplies and food, and he invested in medical consultations for his hand.
One of SRI’s proudest achievements is the deeply felt change in women’s empowerment and community bonds. Our programs help women gain economic independence and bring people together in lasting ways.
