A model village being developed by Qatar Charity for displaced Syrians will be ready within three months, the charity said in a statement on Saturday.
The village, along the Turkish border in Northern Syria, will provide shelter to 400 families. Almost 75 percent of its work has already been completed.
The village, which comprises 400 50-square-metre residential units, is being built at a cost of QR6 million. It includes a mosque, a medical centre, a two-storied school, shops, an administrative building, an artesian well and pavements for all the roads inside the compound.
A host of factors have driven the decision to establish the village in north Syria, including the increase in the number of displaced in these areas, high rents due to shortage of housing facilities, people’s inability to pay rents due to low income and overcrowded camps and dilapidated tents.
The model village being constructed is a part of a series of such villages QC seeks to build in Syria, aiming to ease the hardship of the displaced by providing them with housing that preserves their dignity. The project also seeks to provide educational opportunities to more than 800 children and healthcare services to nearly 2,000 people.
QC provides assistance to shelter the affected Syrian people, including internally displaced persons (IPDs) and refugees in the countries of asylum. The assistance includes tents, residential units, caravans for some camps, house rents, blankets, winter clothes, furniture and other basic needs.
Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis, QC has been supporting Syrian refugees and displaced Syrians by implementing several relief, shelter, health, development and educational projects.
QC has so far managed to establish 11 model villages, which include about 5,492 prefabricated or concrete residential units, to benefit around 5,492 families.
