Since 2015, PecSyria has sponsored refugee families who were forced to leave Syria, and helped to bring them to Prince Edward County and the surrounding area. Typically support is offered for the first year or two of their settlement in Canada. Over 70 individuals have been sponsored and arrived here through this extraordinary community effort.
All these families have several close relatives deeply affected by ongoing war and conflict, and most recently, tragic earthquakes that have destroyed lives, homes, entire communities.
PecSyria is reaching out to sponsor as many of these relatives and additional families as we can raise funds to support.
Any balance of funds not required for settlement will be redirected to the PEC Syria Education Fund. This fund provides bursary support for sponsored individuals to pursue adult education or post-secondary education.
