| Help ASOR Fund Humanitarian Heritage Work in the Idlib Governorate |
|
The Idlib Governorate has been particularly hard-hit over the last six years of the Syrian conflict, and the region and its people are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. Most recently, the town of Khan Sheikhoun was targeted in a chemical weapons attack that killed 92 people, including 30 children. ASOR, in partnership with The Day After Heritage Protection Initiative, is supporting emergency mitigation efforts at the Al Ma'ara Museum located in the town of Maarat al-Numan. ASOR has received half of the funds required to complete the project. We are asking for your help in raising an additional $5,000 to complete emergency mitigation efforts at a second museum site. Click here to find out how you can help support these efforts. |
