In August 2022, Nour started to participate in <strong>psychosocial support activities<\/strong> at the INTERSOS centre dedicated to supporting <a href=\"\/?p=18044\">minors<\/a> and people with vulnerabilities and from the very beginning, signs of distress due to dropping out of school became evident in her behaviour. Nour felt <strong>sad and disappointed<\/strong> at not being able to attend school, which led her to isolate herself more and more frequently and lose self-confidence. Since then, the centre&#8217;s social workers encouraged her to start <strong>psychosocial support<\/strong> and she started to attend individual <strong>counselling sessions<\/strong> on the <strong>importance of education<\/strong>. During the meetings, Nour received a <strong>education<\/strong> <strong>kit<\/strong> with everything she needed to start studying again and was also tutored by a local teacher who provides free-of-charge remedial classes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the mother also participated in <strong>awareness-raising activities<\/strong> related to <strong>stress management<\/strong>, the <strong>importance of school<\/strong>, and how dropping out can negatively affect minors\u2019 life. The mother also shared her experience with other parents in the same situation. This has enabled her to fully understand her daughter&#8217;s emotions and <strong>encourage her in her studies<\/strong>. Moreover, she started organising herself to work in the afternoon only, enabling her daughter to attend school in the morning. The teacher who follows Nour confirms that her performance has improved, as her psychological well-being: the girl is much more proactive and self-confident.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>INTERSOS\u2019 intervention<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since November 2021, in Syria, INTERSOS has provided prevention, protection and psychosocial assistance to <strong>30,500 people<\/strong>, including <strong>23,609 minors<\/strong>. Thanks to the support of the <a href=\"https:\/\/civil-protection-humanitarian-aid.ec.europa.eu\/index_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">European Union<\/a>, and in collaboration with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (<a href=\"https:\/\/sarc.sy\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SARC<\/a>), INTERSOS has launched a project in the governorates of <strong>Hama<\/strong> and <strong>Rural Damascus<\/strong> to provide basic protection services to conflict-affected communities, children, and vulnerable adults. As part of the project, it opened and operates <strong>four protection centres<\/strong> offering integrated prevention and response services through <strong>awareness-raising campaigns<\/strong>, <strong>support, <\/strong><strong>and psychosocial assistance<\/strong> to the vulnerable population.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During 2023, twelve years after the beginning of the conflict, an estimated <strong>15.3 million people <\/strong>in Syria will need <strong>humanitarian assistance<\/strong>, an increase of 0.7 million compared to 2022. Protracted fighting in different parts of the country and the continuing deterioration of the socio-economic situation make the issue increasingly complex. <strong>77% <\/strong>of Syrian households <strong>do not have sufficient income<\/strong> to cover the most basic needs, while almost 60% of the population only has access to electricity between three and eight hours a day. In Syrian government-controlled areas, income would have to increase by two-thirds to enable families to meet their most basic needs. Female-headed households have the most difficulty: 16% have no source of income, and in 2022 they were 6%. The inability to meet basic needs pushes many families to extreme vulnerability, a factor that further puts children at risk. It is estimated that more than <strong>6,7 children <\/strong>will need <strong>protection<\/strong> during 2023.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>* Name was changed to protect the privacy and
