A Positive Impact

Just like other families that suffered greatly from the crisis, family /B/ consisted of six members_ the parents and their four young children, the eldest being in second grade_ and lived in a modest, damaged house.
The house they lived in lacked many materials necessary to its rehabilitation, for it to become a healthy and suitable place to live in. Unfortunately, the family couldn’t afford such materials due to their dire financial situation.

To make things worse, the mother suffered from nerve inflammation (carpal tunnel) because of all the housework she had to do, such as handwashing her children’s clothes, which was extremely tiresome.


Luckily, the ORV team of the Syrian Society for Social Development in Adra monitored the needs of the poor family, through the Farah Community Center located there. Consequently, they were referred to the In-kind Assistance programme in order to assist them to the greatest extent possible.


Furthermore, the team provided them with a washing machine with two basins to help the mother wash clothes, which would relieve the pressure on her and relieve her pain.


Thus, the joy of the family was great, especially that of the mother, with the help provided by SSSD.
Moreover, family B were intrigued, and wanted to know more about SSSD and the programmes and services it provides, as well as to participate in it and introduce others in need of help.
