Fardous is a Syrian mother of six and the grandmother of five. Similar to the 6.2 internally displaced Syrians, she escaped her hometown in Syria in search for safety and was displaced multiple times ending at Al-Rukban Camp where she lost one of her sons to a heart attack

The mother wanted decent life for her children in the camp, and was determined to do something to provide them with what they need. Stuck at Al-Rukban, she decided to return to their original city in the hope of rebuilding their life there, but they found that their house was completely destroyed with nowhere for them to settle. They rented a house in the same neighborhood. Although they were paying money for the rented house, they suffered from lack of water and electricity.

With funding from the European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO), our shelter and infrastructure team in Homs were able to provide assistance through the maintenance of a clean water network.
