As part of the implementation of emergency humanitarian response activities funded by Oxfam, and in coordination with local authorities and field teams, the Syrian Society implemented a project to distribute integrated hygiene kits targeting affected and displaced families in Daraa Governorate, during the period (date to be added if available).
Targeted Areas:
The intervention covered the most vulnerable population clusters in the towns of Ghasm, Alama, Al-Surah, Mahajjah, Sheikh Miskeen, and Izra’, with a focus on areas witnessing an influx of families displaced from Sweida Governorate due to the prevailing security and economic conditions.
Number of Beneficiaries:
A total of (1,000) hygiene kits were distributed, directly benefiting (1,000) newly displaced families, with an estimated total of (5,000) individuals (at an average of 5 individuals per family).
Contents of the Hygiene Kit:
Each hygiene kit comprised a comprehensive set of basic, high quality hygiene supplies, including (for example: laundry soap, bathing soap, shampoo, sanitizers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sanitary pads, baby diapers, towels, and others), in accordance with humanitarian standards.
This intervention aimed to:
Alleviate the living burdens on families affected by displacement and loss of income sources, by covering their basic hygiene needs.
Prevent diseases and reduce the risk of epidemics, particularly in light of overcrowding in shelters and informal settlements, as well as inadequate health and environmental infrastructure.
Enhance the dignity of beneficiaries, especially women and girls, by providing specific personal hygiene items that contribute to maintaining their health and psychosocial well being.
Implementation and Monitoring Mechanism:
The distribution process was carried out through transparent and documented mechanisms, relying on pre established beneficiary lists prepared by field assessment teams, applying vulnerability based targeting criteria and prioritization. The delivery process was monitored by a monitoring and evaluation team to ensure that aid reached its intended recipients in full
