2) Roula, a Syrian refugee who lost her son to snipers and now leads the new Child Friendly Space, finding purpose and overcoming depression through the support of MERATH's partner organizations.
3) MERATH providing winter supplies like mattresses, blankets, and fuel to help over 3,000 vulnerable households stay warm.
