Set a sign of humanity with the "scarf for life"!

Well over five million Syrian children are on the run in and around Syria. More than 13 million Syrians urgently need humanitarian aid. Half of them are children. In order not to forget the fate of these girls and boys, as many people as possible should wear the scarf as a symbol of hope and for the right to childhood on December 10:

On the day of human rights, anyone wearing the scarf for life or the action logo on their profile picture in the social networks supports projects for Syrian refugee children and becomes a bearer of hope.

All information and answers to the most common questions can be found in our FAQ for the scarf for life.
