Believing in promoting the role of the local community in problem-solving, the Syrian Society for Social Development (SSSD) in Homs, in cooperation with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), launched a community-based initiative in the town of Naara under the title “Installation of an iron railing on the water stream in the town of Naara”.
The initiative aimed to install an iron railing to protect the children and population of the area from the risk of approaching, falling into and drowning in the watercourse. It also aimed at protecting the soil of neighboring agricultural lands from erosion and encouraging people to continue farming. Works of manufacture and installation of the railing were completed on 22/1/2018.
