Support for refugees
In Jordan, Help has been particularly involved in supporting Syrian and Palestinian families. Our focus here was on innovative solutions: We built greenhouses on rooftops and in refugee shelters and provided agricultural expertise. Thanks to these "urban gardening" facilities, affected people were given the opportunity to grow vegetables and fruit in a resource-friendly way and to generate a long-term income by selling the produce.
Previously, Help was involved in improving the living conditions of Syrian families who lived outside the refugee camps in dilapidated shell buildings. 150 dilapidated houses were renovated and turned into safe shelters for families.
As many refugees from Syria suffer from war trauma, Help has also created sustainable structures for the psychological care of those affected. In cooperation with the Charité hospital in Berlin, Help has trained around 100 local medical professionals as trauma therapists. In addition to Syrian refugees, Jordanian patients have also had the opportunity to take advantage of the therapy offered.
