December 1st, 2025 ― Doha, Qatar: Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has completed a furnishing and infrastructure development project for two residential villages in Idlib Governorate, northern Syria, earlier constructed by QRCS to provide decent and stable housing for internally displaced people (IDPs), instead of unprotective shelter tents. The final phase of the project involved the construction of a deep borehole equipped with a solar-powered pumping and operation system, water tower, and water supply network to secure sustainable potable water for the residents, meeting their everyday water needs in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
Under the project’s action plan, other activities had already been carried out, including the provision of 600 apartments with essential household furniture, supply of classroom furniture for two schools, furnishing of two mosques (with dedicated spaces for women), creation of playing areas for kids, installation of solar streetlights, and distribution of waste containers to maintain public hygiene.
All of these activities helped upgrade the overall conditions, improve the quality of life, enhance socioeconomic stability, and create jobs for the beneficiary families.
It stands out as a successful model for utilizing renewable energy to provide sustainable housing solutions that respect human dignity and support the resilience of affected families in the northern part of the country.
Funded by QRCS as part of its shelter programs in Syria, this project is one of 15 residential villages constructed and developed by QRCS, with a total of 3,498 housing units to shelter over 58,000 beneficiaries.
Under its “in Safe Hands” Warm Winter Campaign 2025-2026, QRCS is raising funds to provide winterization aid for nearly 38,000 vulnerable families in Syria. The plan involves monthly cash payments for 14,220 people from families with orphans, potable water for 6,600 IDPs, 9,000 food parcels, 6,000 winter clothing bags, and 2,100 heating oil coupons.
To achieve these goals, donations are received via QRCS’s website (https://qrcs.qa/cc), mobile app (QRCS), donor service (66666364), home donation collection (33998898), and bank remittance to any of the following accounts:

Its humanitarian mandates include disaster preparedness, response, recovery, and risk reduction. To mitigate the impact of disasters and improve the livelihoods of affected populations, QRCS provides medical services, food, water, shelter, and other needs of local communities. It is also active at the humanitarian diplomacy and advocacy front. With the help of a vast network of trained, committed staff and volunteers, QRCS aspires to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity, inspired by the seven Fundamental Principles of humanitarian action: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality.
