The “Fajr al-Qusayr” fundraising campaign has raised $10.081 million to support rehabilitate key services and development projects in the al-Qusayr area, southwestern Homs.
The event, held on Wednesday evening, is part of local efforts to engage the community in rehabilitating damaged infrastructure and restoring key public services, particularly as tens of thousands of residents return to their homes following the liberation.
Governor of Homs, Abdulrahman al-Ama, praised the resilience and determination of the city’s residents in his speech at the campaign launch. He emphasized that initiatives like this reflect the community’s role in supporting the state’s reconstruction efforts after years of war.
He also highlighted progress in restoring service facilities, including the rehabilitation of 97 schools over the past ten months.
Bassam Idris, coordinator of the “Fajr al-Qusayr” campaign, noted that the initiative is a result of collaboration between civil and public organizations to help residents restore what was destroyed and strengthen social bonds.
Hassan Mohibeddin, director of the al-Qusayr area, stated that approximately 165,000 citizens have returned to the city and its countryside, now representing around 70 percent of its original population. He stressed the urgent need to improve services and infrastructure to meet the growing demand.
It is worth noting that al-Qusayr suffered extensive infrastructure damage during the war, prompting several community-driven initiatives to support reconstruction and improve basic services.
The “Fajr al-Qusayr” campaign is one of several similar initiatives taking place across Syria, aiming to strengthen social solidarity and rehabilitate neighborhoods affected by the violence and shelling of the former regime during the revolution.
