Give Syrian youth the education they deserve!

8 years of war have exhausted the people of Syria. Young women and men are among the most affected. Millions of Syrian youth are deprived of a proper education. They have little hopes of improving their livelihood situation. Their future is plagued by problems such as poverty, recruitment, child marriage and extremism. All they can remember is the war.

We provide alternative ICT vocational and education training and livelihoods. This education has changed the lives of hundreds of young women and men in Syria. It provided our beneficiaries with employment opportunities enabling them to improve their livelihood situation and increase their resilience.

However, the success of our ICT programs depends on donors. Without the urgently needed funds, we will be forced to suspend our activities in May 2019. Your crucial donations will help hundreds of young Syrian women and men. We at ROIA have the vision that together we can improve lives through ICT education. No matter how much the war has destroyed, we will keep rebuilding from the ashes. The Syrian youth deserves an education, they deserve a future, they deserve your help. With your contributions, we can keep improving hundreds of young lives. Its time to make a change, it’s time to become visionary!

Why our Academies change lives

Employment

Our program is designed to provide young women and men with lifelong skills and immediate access to employment opportunities. Through freelancing and other work opportunities, our students can become independent breadwinners in their families. We also focus on innovation, which translates into the graduates contributing with projects that benefit their communities.

Education

Our ICT Education offer unique possibilities to our students. Since 2012, we provide alternative ICT (Information and Communications Technology) vocational and education training to youngsters in the North of Syria. We offer different tracks, ranging from basic ICT literacy courses to advanced coding courses. We also offer English classes and soft-skills workshops.

Inclusivity

Our education centers are places of self-fulfillment and empower the most vulnerable members of society. We want to ensure equal access for all young Syrians, no matter their gender, IDP status or disability. The centers are adapted to students with hearing disabilities. 50% of the staff and students are women, and 50% are internally displaced people. A child minding section is included to encourage women participation.
