Save the Syrian Children

Currently, over 40 million refugees are displaced within their own countries or on foreign shores—the scope of this humanitarian crisis looms large. We have been given an incredible opportunity to provide direct aid to Syrian refugees. Our partnership with Save the Syrian Children, an organization founded by Wise members Tamar and Philip Koosed, has given us the opportunity to provide much needed medical supplies and other health and welfare related materials directly into the hands of doctors and displaced children. Every year around Sukkot, Wise runs “The Big Fill,” a project to fill shipping containers with life saving medical supplies, as well as gently-used clothing and toys for children and adults to receive on the ground in Syria.

In the wake of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck the Syrian-Turkish border in early February of 2023, Save the Syrian Children has started an emergency earthquake relief effort utilizing its vast network in the region. Find out more HERE.
