International Orthodox Christian Charities Joins with Antiochian Patriarchate for Ministry In Syria

At the invitation of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East, IOCC began working in Syria in 2002 on small projects to rehabilitate schools, hospitals and orphanages.

In 2007, IOCC was awarded two grants totaling $1.98 million from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM) to provide schooling, school supplies and other humanitarian items to Iraqi refugee children, families and disadvantaged Syrian youth.
