"This is a human tragedy beyond all comprehension.” – Kurdish Regional Government
Details:
The U.N. has stated the Syrian war has created the greatest refugee crisis since Rwanda. Over 120,000 civilians have been killed since the beginning of the conflict, and nearly 2.2 million refugees have been forced to flee to Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt, and Kurdistan (Northern Iraq.) Nearly 1 million of these refugees are under age 11, and there are another 4 million civilians internally displaced.
“We are not prepared to deal with the Syrian refugee crisis alone, we need your help.” Kareem Sinjari, Minister of Interior
World Compassion has been serving a Syrian refugee camp in Koya, Iraq (Kurdistan) for over 1 year. They provide monthly food distributions for over 3,500 Syrian refugees and are working with the local church.
We are honored with this exciting and historic opportunity that our friends from World Compassion have invited us to partner with them on. Our team from More Than A Game will start a soccer program in the Syrian refugee camp in Koya, Iraq to help restore a sense of normality into the lives of the displaced refugee children and partner with World Compassion and the local church to bring hope through soccer camps, a tournament, and a soccer league that we hope will continue on after we leave.
