Caritas Czech Republic has launched civil society project in Northwest Syria

The civil war in Syria has been a harsh reality for the people there since 2011. Some of them left the country, but most of them left their homes but remain in Syria as internally displaced persons. Local civil society organizations focus, among other things, on humanitarian aid and development. Caritas Czech Republic has decided to support their efforts with a new project funded by the European Commission.
