Click here for CNEWA Canada\u2019s 2017 Syria Report<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

These past few years I\u2019ve had the opportunity to visit Jordan and Lebanon on your behalf. While there, I met with Syrian Christian families who had lost their homes, schools, churches and, sadly, members of their own families.<\/p>\n

I particularly remember this family I met in Zahleh, Lebanon, that was forced to leave their Christian village when ISIS fighters approached.<\/p>\n

\u201cI lost everything in Syria,\u201d the father of a refugee family said to me. \u201cNow, my only hope now is to have my family move to another country with my family. In the meantime, my kids need to eat and go to school. Without your support, that would be impossible. Thank you so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt is motivating to know that people in Canada care about us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The very survival of Christians is at risk. In 2011, more than two million Christians lived in Syria, but today, fewer than one million remain and more are leaving as fighting continues. In the last 7 years, CNEWA\u2019s priorities have been focused on strengthening the remaining Christian presence in Syria and in helping families who are refugees in Jordan and Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Thank you! Your generosity is transforming the lives of these families in need. You are helping to restore their lives and dignity.<\/p>\n

Your Support in 2017<\/h3>\n

CNEWA Canada spent the sum of $806,440 to help internally displaced people in Syria and Syrian refugees who fled to Lebanon and Jordan.<\/p>\n

Below is a sample of the projects you supported in these three countries in 2017:<\/p>\n

Glass of Milk Program<\/strong>: Over 3,000 children aged 1 to 10 years old received one glass of milk a day and a meal at school or at their parish. Kids also received school kits and materials. Amount used: $200,290<\/p>\n

Health Program<\/strong>: This program supported over 7,100 children, women and men \u2014 and treated health issues such as poor nutrition, diabetes, asthma, dental care, vision care, pediatric care and therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Amount used: $332,500<\/p>\n

Support Basic Needs: <\/strong>This program cared for over 500 families and provided essentials such as food, water, clothing, activities for children and catechetical sessions. Amount used: $153,450<\/p>\n

CNEWA\u2019s Partners<\/h3>\n

For decades, CNEWA has forged relationships with various local churches such as the Melkite Greek Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Maronite, Syriac Catholic and Syriac Orthodox \u2014 as well as religious congregations like the Sacred Heart Sisters, Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, Good Shepherd Sisters, Jesuit Fathers, Marist Brothers and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.<\/p>\n

Thank You<\/h3>\n

God bless you for helping to make all this happen through Catholic Near East Welfare Association. Know that the people whose lives you have so generously touched remember you and your intentions in their prayers of gratitude \u2014 for the Lord hears the cry of the poor.<\/p>\n

Our work continues in 2018 and beyond. We count on your ongoing support for Syrian Christians to ensure their continued presence in Syria.<\/p>\n
