An installation of 20 prefabricated classrooms in Syria has been made possible because of a donation to Unicef from The Leo Messi Foundation.

This contribution has enabled more than 1,600 children to attend schools with adequately furnished classrooms, that are also equipped with solar panels to provide the best environment for learning despite the conflict in that country, now in its sixth year.

More than 60% of the children attending these schools have been displaced from their homes because of the fighting.

The school is providing them with a routine, structure and something normal in a situation that is far from normal.
