Rzeczniczka Fundacji PCPM, Aleksandra Rutkowska wraz ze swoimi gośćmi rozmawia o działaniach, podejmowanych przez organizację w różnych częściach świata. Jednym z tematów ostatniej audycji była pogarszająca się sytuacja syryjskich rodzin w północnym Libanie.
In November and December, families visited during the assessment phase will receive shelter kits which they will use to reinforce their shelters before the upcoming winter.
The PCPM Foundation will take care of the safety of hundreds of families in the Syrian province of Idlib, where a huge humanitarian crisis occurs, and on the Greek islands where people fleeing Syria are camping. More than 650 special modular homes are ready for transportation.
As part of the ongoing preparations to resume activities in informal refugee settlements, field officers of the Lebanese mission of PCPM are currently attending a training on universal standards relating to shelter assistance.
Crowded camps in northern Lebanon have never been so dangerous for thousands of people. The risk of a spreading the pandemic, the approaching winter, another year of life in poor and unsafe shelters - these are the problems that PCPM will face in a specific way thanks to the new humanitarian project.
Thanks to the nationwide fund-raising campaign and huge media support, we have drawn attention to the dramatic situation of Syrian families, and we collected funds to buy 52 houses! After crossing 3.5 thousand kilometers, they will reach the most needy families in northwestern Syria, where the biggest humanitarian crisis of this century takes place.
Nowadays in Kurdistan we can observe a strong attitude of “teach a man to fish” regarding local citizens. After defeating the so-called Islamic State, it is finally possible. The situation in Northern Iraq is stabilizing. However, the process of achieving fully independence is not easy, due to the negative impact of financial crisis in 2014, provoked by low oil prices and investment outflow. PCPM actions support local governmental institutions in raising funds for the most important tasks.
We have sent 100 modular houses to Uganda. They are used as temporary clinics in one of the world's largest refugee camps, Bidi Bidi. In this way we have improved the quality of medical care provided in the camp. The project is financed by the Polish Aid program.
