A Mission of Hope for Children and Mothers

SAMS heartfelt initiatives are working to provide life-saving healthcare and emotional support to children and mothers facing overwhelming challenges in conflict-affected regions.

Your support makes all the difference for those who need us most.

Mental Health
and Psychosocial
Support Programs

Overview:

SAMS has created a lifeline of Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) programs across Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey. We stand by children and mothers, offering therapy to heal the deep scars of trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and depression. Our programs empower women, advocate for human rights, and provide specialized care for survivors of gender-based violence. By supporting children's emotional and educational needs, we help them overcome the unimaginable challenges they face.

Our Impact:

  • 80% of Syrian refugee children have lost a family member.
  • 60% have suffered physical attacks.
  • More than half of all Syrian children show symptoms of PTSD.

Life-Saving Cancer Care

Overview:

More than twelve years of conflict in Syria have severely limited access to essential health services, including cancer care. The destruction caused by the February 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria has further exacerbated the situation. Cancer patients who once traveled to Türkiye for advanced treatments are now left without options. In northern Syria, SAMS stands as the only NGO providing a comprehensive range of cancer services. Our services include lab work, diagnostic tests, mammogram screenings, surgeries, cancer medications, and chemotherapy, all free of charge. We treat various cancers, including breast cancer, lymphoma, colon cancer, gonad cancer, and pediatric leukemia. Over a six-month period following the earthquakes, our Idlib Oncology and Hematology Center saw 14,195 patient referrals, reflecting an urgent need for our services.

Our Impact:

Over 1,000 cancer consultations per month across four specialized centers in northern Syria. Centers located at Idlib Central Hospital, Bab Al-Hawa Hospital, Al-Bab Turkish Hospital, and Jarablus Turkish Hospital. Support from a dedicated SAMS committee of over 20 American Board Certified specialists.
