As part of its efforts to enhance community readiness and rapid emergency response, the Dan Relief and Development Foundation has recently completed the distribution of disaster response and firefighting equipment in the town of Hajjira in Rural Damascus

This intervention comes within the context of strengthening local communities’ ability to face risks and mitigate the impact of fires and natural disasters
The activity involved 20 beneficiaries from two pre-selected groups who had been trained in fire and natural disaster response methods before being provided with integrated equipment sufficient for 10 individuals among the trainees, including
(Firefighting suits – Protective helmets – Heat-resistant boots – Fire extinguishers)

This program aims to develop qualified community teams capable of immediate intervention to protect lives and property, and to enhance local emergency response
These initiatives reflect the foundation’s commitment to strengthening community readiness and building beneficiaries’ capacities to ensure a safer and more resilient environment against disasters

As winter approaches, bringing additional challenges for displaced families, Dan Relief and Development launched a project titled “Together… Our Strength Lies in Our Unity” as an urgent response to the humanitarian needs resulting from the displacement of families from As-Suwayda Governorate to shelters in the Sayyida Zainab area in Rural Damascus.

The project, implemented in late December, provided emergency winter assistance to families affected by the conflict and displaced in Rural Damascus through cash assistance.

Six of the most vulnerable shelters were targeted, where support was provided to 313 families (1,650 individuals).

The project also included individual and group awareness sessions on preventing sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment, while explaining the accountability and feedback mechanisms within the targeted centers.

Dan Organization remains committed to humanitarian response and providing support to affected families across various regions.
