Siba *, three, at her home in a tented refugee settlement in Lebanon, near the Syrian border.
SibaâÃÂÃÂs father took part in Save the Children Cash for Work scheme, and helped to clean up the refugee settlement. The whole family benefited from the cash payments over three months âÃÂàpaying off crippling debt, buying food and essential items like a mattress and blankets to sleep on.
Thousands of children and their families continue to stream into neighbouring countries. Most of those whoâÃÂÃÂve escaped are living in makeshift shelters, unsuitable buildings or in overcrowded camps, amid growing shortages of food, medicine and water.
Save the Children is helping children recover from their experiences within Syria and across the region, to make sure they can access education and to ensure that families have the basic necessities they need to survive âÃÂàincluding healthcare, warm clothes, nutritious food and shelter materials.
