GOAL in Syria

GOAL has launched an emergency response programme to support displaced families in northern Syria.

Thousands of families have been driven from their homes by on-going conflict in the country. Many of them have little access to the basic essentials of life such as clean water, food, medical aid and warm clothing and blankets.

GOAL has already supplied 4,000 blankets and made two deliveries of flour (each of 6.25 tonnes) to displaced families in the north Syrian provinces of Aleppo and Idlib.

GOAL Brick Kilns



GOAL brick kilns programme is an integrated urban development programme for migrant families working and living at brick kiln factories in the Kolkata slums.India produces 140 billion bricks a year, the vast majority of which are made at more than 5,000 kilns dotted around Kolkata and throughout the eastern state of West Bengal. An estimated 1.2 million migrant workers, including entire families, mould thousands of bricks at these kilns without suitable sanitation, clean water, or access to health care and education.

With the support of our local partners, GOAL has introduced an education component by providing children with literacy and numeric skills that would otherwise not be available to them.

We are also piloting a literacy and numeric course for adults so they can count the bricks they produce, and check this against payment, to ensure they are being properly remunerated.
