Our work in Syria

JRS Syria was founded in 2008 in response to the growing number of Iraqi refugees. With the outbreak of the civil war in 2011, JRS Syria expanded its mandate and began serving internally displaced Syrians with health services, education, child protection, livelihood training, and emergency aid.
