The Local Development Directorate in Al-Rahiba city, Rif Dimashq Governorate, launched the "Warmer Winters" initiative to provide winter clothes to the most needy families, aiming to alleviate their living burdens. The initiative runs for a week, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and will later move to other areas, including Qutayfah and Muassamiyat al-Sham.
Tubarak Tayyara, director of the Local Development Committee in Al-Rahiba, told SANA on Monday that the initiative targets low-income families, prioritizing children and the elderly. She noted that beneficiaries were selected after studying their living conditions and needs.
For her part, Ru'a Zarzur, representative of the supervisory team for the campaign, explained that clothes were collected from donors' donations, sorted, classified, and cleaned. Used items were washed and arranged. She added that new clothes make up about 80 percent of the total available clothes, while the team organizes family entry and movement within the campaign to facilitate needs selection and reduce congestion.
Beneficiary Rita al-Sheikh noted that the initiative helped her secure clothes for herself and her children, including new items, which reduced the financial burden of meeting family needs. The initiative contributes to enhancing social solidarity by collecting donations and making them available to the most needy families, helping them secure their winter necessities.
