Concerning education, 93 under-six kids were enrolled in a kindergarten. Teachers were hired to help the students with their studies and help the mothers with Quran memorization and recitation. Sewing, makeup, and embroidery courses were held for 53 women and young women.
The children attended the play, education, and rehabilitation sessions, while the mothers attended life consulting and stress management sessions.
Dr. Mohamed Salah Ibrahim, Executive Director of Relief and International Development Division at QRCS, said, "I would like to thank KRCS for making this humanitarian project a success. It meets the needs of the most vulnerable Syrians in Turkey, who are desperate for any form of assistance, following their horrible experiences amid the atrocities of war".
