Summary
| Description |
Amani*, aged 24, is a teacher from Syria. When the conflict started her school had to shut as it wasn't safe. She taught students in her home for a while but over time that became unsafe too. Eventually she fled to Lebanon with her husband and young child. She's now learning a new skill with the help of the International Rescue Committee and UK aid - how to make fishing nets. Since becoming a refugee, she hasn't been to work as a teacher, but there's a local market for fishing nets in northern Lebanon, so the International Rescue Committee is working with a local co-operative to train Syrian women like Amani to help them be able to earn some money. "The training is good", she says. "There are lots of fishermen in the region I'm from in Syria, so even if I can't work as a teacher, I might be able to make fishing nets instead." "All I want to do is go back to Syria, and as soon as the conflict is over I will pack my bags and go home". The UK has committed over £800 million to help those affected by the conflict in Syria - our largest ever response to a humanitarian crisis. This funding is providing support including food, medical care and relief items for over a million people - people who have been affected by the fighting but are still inside Syria and those who have fled the country and become refugees in neighbouring Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq.
