Briquette House

While the war in Syria is inflicting deep wounds day by day on our brothers and sisters, Sadaka Golgesi continues to provide food and shelter for the oppressed victims of war. Syrian families who had to migrate to the countryside on the Turkish border due to Russian and Regime Forces’ intense bombing attacks on the city of Idlib, are struggling to survive in the cold weather on lands submerged under rain water, mud and dirt. These families have settled in makeshift barracks which they set up in fields and gardens using the materials they carried with them. Unfortunately, they do not have access to even basic necessities.

Let's be a Shelter to them...

In the countryside, where access to clean water is also a major problem, 500-liter size water tanks are placed right next to the briquette houses.

Not only they are provided with shelter, but also warm blankets, coats, sweaters, sponge beds, fuel for burning, flour, food supplies and cleaning materials are delivered to the victims of war.

Maintaining the privacy of their families and finding a shelter to protect themselves from the cold nights are among the most difficult challenges for the homeless Syrian people. This issue gives rise to much bigger problems, especially during the cold winter months.

Sadaka Golgesi’s Briquette House Project, which was started to meet this need of oppressed Syrian people, does not provide with just a roof for shelter, but aims to provide them a warm home in which they can live for years to come.

We are building houses resistant to all kinds of weather conditions. The 35m² livable briquette houses consist of 2 rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet and features a proper infrastructure, interior and exterior plastering, concrete roof and a water tank. We utilize Kalebodur brand for ceramic tiles and Pimapen PVC for internal doors.

We aim to move out the oppressed Syrian population from the difficult conditions they experience living in tents and help them have more comfortable homes.
