The Syrian Emergency Task Force (SETF) leads critical education and humanitarian programs for internally displaced Syrians across the country, including former residents of Rukban Camp. These efforts respond to the ongoing crisis in Syria, where communities continue to face the effects of more than 14 years of war.
Millions of Syrians face food insecurity, limited access to education and healthcare, and prolonged displacement. SETF focuses on reaching the most vulnerable, including widows, orphans, children, and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
Our programs not only address urgent needs, but also restore dignity, create opportunity, and connect Syrians with a global community that cares.
Tomorrow’s Dawn provides free secondary education to women and girls in northern Syria, empowering them with the skills and confidence to pursue their futures and help rebuild their communities.
Wisdom House provides free early childhood education to displaced children in northern Syria, offering a safe, nurturing environment where young students can learn, grow, and begin rebuilding their futures.
SETF’s ground team clears around 400 landmines daily, starting in Deir Ezzor, as the only active demining operation. Millions of hidden mines remain a deadly threat to civilians.
We collect handwritten letters from people around the world and deliver them to displaced Syrian children, offering encouragement and a reminder that they are not alone.
For years, Syrians in Rukban Camp endured extreme isolation with little access to aid. SETF supported residents throughout the crisis, delivered life-saving assistance through the U.S. Denton Program, and helped establish a humanitarian corridor. Following liberation, SETF supported the repatriation of the final families, ending nearly a decade of displacement.
The House of Healing provided a safe, welcoming space for Syrians with critical medical conditions who traveled to the Turkish border for treatment. For many, it served as a home away from home during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Following Syria’s liberation and improved access to care, the program was successfully concluded.
After the February 2023 earthquake, SETF helped bring the first international journalists into northwest Syria and delivered more than $100,000 in humanitarian assistance to affected communities. SETF provided cash assistance, food baskets, and tents to affected families.
