Homs – The name of the Center, which opened two years ago, is “Generation of Hope“. The city of Homs is one of the first cities destroyed by the war that began in 2011. Although liberated by the regular army at the end of 2014, many families ran away and find it very hard to get back to normal life, because of the lack of human and economic resources.

More than a hundred Muslim and Christian children from the Bab el Sbaa district attend an after-school program. The Centre provides them love, support, and school follow-up. They are 6 to 12 years-old children who are deeply affected by suffering, traumas, and death.

The after-school activities are held in the premises of a private school that belongs to the Orthodox Church, and it includes the classrooms on two floors and an outdoor space for games. In the afternoon, in addition to the after-school follow-up in the various subjects, from the first to the sixth grade, various activities and workshops take place.
