In the calendar year 2023, the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Damascus successfully implemented a new project to Install solar panels in Jdeidet Artouz – Damascus Countryside as part of the "Small Scale Projects" initiative.
These projects were designed to provide support to various Syrian entities and charitable organizations. The funding for these endeavors was sourced from the Czech government's "Reconstruction Program for the Czech Republic in the Middle East region for the period 2022-2024."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic is contributing to mitigate the consequences of the conflict in Syria and the overall recovery of the country in the most affected areas.
- Project title: "Installing solar panels in Jdeidet Artouz – Damascus Countryside“
- Implementer: Church of St. George for Greek Catholic in Jdeidet Artouz – Damascus Countryside, Syria.
- FDC CZ contribution: CZK 480,000
The Church of Saint George in Jdeidet Artouz encompasses various facilities, including buildings, a nursery, a newborn center, halls, a Christian Education Center, and a study hall. Given the prevailing lack of electricity, particularly exacerbated by challenging local conditions, the church faces extended periods of power outages. In response to these challenges, a solar energy system has been implemented to ensure continuous operations and streamline activities across various fields, thereby enhancing services. The backing of this project has resulted in significant advantages for approximately 1000 young people and children accessing educational opportunities within the covered areas.
