The return of even one child to their school desk is enough to help an entire nation reclaim its place among others. This is what Syria understands today as it reshapes its priorities: recovery begins with the schoolbag, not somewhere else.

With every school that opens its doors, and every child who takes their seat once again, a seed of renewal is planted—one measured not in years, but in the hope it carries. Education rises above the rubble and carves its path through the harshest of circumstances, giving every generation the chance to shape its own destiny instead of leaving it to circumstance.

With this conviction, we launch the "Campaign Nine" initiative—an effort that spans the entire الوطن, reaching every child who has been away from the classroom and providing for their educational needs throughout a full year.
