Tencent Public Welfare: Donate US $1 to Save Disabled Children in Syria
Project introduction
Project background
Since the civil war broke out in Syria in 2011, Syria has been at war for more than six years. In what has been denounced as "the worst humanitarian disaster of the 21st century," more than 520,000 people lost their lives, 12 million people were displaced, and 6 million people relied on humanitarian assistance. Among them, more than 2.3 million children became refugees and were struggling on the verge of death.
Tens of thousands of children lost limbs in the war. Their innocent and carefree childhood has been baptized by war. In addition to peace, they long for a sound body, and they long to walk with two feet like normal people and write with their hands like normal people.
We hope that by donating 1 dollar per person, we can rescue war-injured children in Syria and help them get back on their feet and live with us in a world full of love.
Project purpose:
Provide free prosthetic limbs, rehabilitation training, and psychological assistance to Syrian children who lost limbs in the Syrian war.
Project measures:
With the assistance of the Syrian Red Crescent Society and cooperation with Syrian public welfare organizations, a new [Prosthetic Limb Center] has been established in Syria, which can provide services such as prosthetic limb manufacturing, prosthetic limb surgery, prosthetic limb installation, rehabilitation training, and psychological assistance.
Fundraising Goal:
10 million yuan, about 1.5 million US dollars.
Fundraising methods:
The initiative donors each donate US$1 (a US$1 donation is approximately equivalent to 6.66 yuan), and @(invite) three friends to participate together. The invitees also need to donate US$1, and @three friends again, and so on.
