Firefly International is dedicated to supporting children affected by the ravages of war, providing them with critical opportunities to heal, learn and build a peaceful future.
The Firefly for Syrians project provides pre-primary school education for children in northern Syria, most of whom have been displaced by war, earthquake or both and for whom no other pre-primary provision exists. The Lewin Trust is helping to provide two years of pre-primary education for 300 children. Anticipated outcomes include improved teaching through our training and mentoring programme for trainee teachers, arabic literacy and numeracy and a safe place where children can learn. These children are from the poorest rural communities in northern Syria.
