We've seen serious challenges because people are returning to destroyed villages and cities, roads, hospitals, clinics and water projects. Unfortunately, the people who are returning are dependent on aid agencies like Islamic Relief and the burden is ever increasing.
We now have a long-term development plan, which is to rebuild everything I've just mentioned: roads, clinics, hospitals and schools. It's a very large and ambitious plan. The challenge we face, of course, is that there is a dearth of funding available for long-term development plans. Syria is no longer in the headlines and over 90% of our income comes from the community, the most generous faith-based community in Canada, the Muslim community.
However, they're not hearing anything about Syria anymore, so we're struggling to raise funds for these very important long-term development projects. We need the Canadian government to continue supporting those efforts, because right now, without the support of GAC and the Canadian government, we would struggle to deliver these very important projects, which help not just returning refugees but also the wider population inside Syria.
