The Needs
Needs we are addressing:
Approximately 15.7 million people in Syria and Turkey have been affected by the massive earthquake that struck on February 6, 2023. Not only are communities in desperate need of shelter, but also essential items like food, water, hygiene kits and medical supplies.
Civil unrest, displacement and public health emergencies over the years have caused over 7.2 million Syrians to be internally displaced in their own country. About 70% of the population remains in need of humanitarian assistance while 90% live below the poverty line.

Projects:
Since the earthquake hit in February 2023, GAiN has provided humanitarian aid, including packages of food, medical and hygiene supplies and blankets to survivors in Syria. With each distribution of practical goods, we also share the gospel with those we encounter and strive to infuse the light and love of Christ into their desperate situation.
Bags of Blessing
From 2017-2022, we worked with families who were internally displaced (IDPs) and provided them with Bags of Blessing. One Bag of Blessing contained a month’s worth of food and essential items to sustain a family of five. Each month, 1,000 bags were distributed.
