Throughout Syria’s civil war, CNEWA has worked with patriarchal representatives, bishops, parish groups and religious congregations, particularly the Besançon Sisters, Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, Good Shepherd Sisters, the Jesuit Fathers and the Marist Fathers, to help those desperately in need. We have:
- Assisted families displaced from Aleppo, Damascus and Homs, providing basic non-food items, along with winter clothing, shoes and blankets
- Provided milk supplies for thousands of children in Aleppo
- Helped sustain health care programs to the displaced and the injured, including St. Louis Hospital, the Al Hakim Dispensary in Aleppo and smaller dispensaries nationwide
- Helped pastors in Homs sponsor catechesis and counseling programs
