Since the outbreak of this humanitarian crisis, Syria has witnessed a lot of charitable relief projects and traditional humanitarian projects which played and important role in helping affected by deterioration of the situation especially who was displaced from their homes. Actually, these organizations had done a very important job helped to reduce war impact which was described widely as one of the worst crisis and disasters happened after second world war. The economic of this country was degraded in an unprecedented manner as 82% of its citizens living below the poverty line as per numbers issued by the united nations.

Most of these charitable relief projects was projects offering in-kind and food stuff, monthly benefits, financial guaranties, however these guaranties were a heavy burden on the humanitarian organizations which left a negative social fact which its features appeared in complete dependence on humanitarian charitable reliefs, reluctant to work and breadmaking especially in places that witnesses proportional stability.

Actually, all these facts represented by the need of these people on one hand and Limitedness of humanitarian work resources on the other hand was a challenge that we have to deal with wisdom. These facts forced non-profit charitable organizations and civil society organizations to build a strategy for small developmental projects which offers new jobs for effected and help them to earn money from a constant source.

These projects will move charitable work from its traditional concept based on offering relief and guaranties to providing a lot of job opportunities to affected people through these small developmental projects which contributed in improving the standard of living and social reality of affected and relieved a lot of war effects. Actually, these projects made a difference in the affected areas and changed a lot the reality of families suffers from poverty, privation and unemployment.

However, these charitable and humanitarian organizations do not offer only small projects, but it also supervises all project phases, train beneficiaries and direct them so they can do work efficiently and earn their living.

This matter contributed a lot in promoting the psychological factor of the displaced and poor families due to its profound effect in changing harsh reality, in addition to the positive effect resulted from gaining those people new job opportunities offering them a stable financial source without having to wait for guaranties.

This trend aiming at transmitting these beneficiary families to producing families contributing in economical activity cycle promoting the value of work and production rather than waiting for guaranties and reliefs.

Small developmental projects vary as per sources and capabilities availability such as animal husbandry, planting fodders, and dressmaking in atelier for women after teaching them how to do so.

Also, small and micro projects have emerged as a proper substitution providing an economical activity that affected families depend on. These projects had covered all fields like agricultural, animalistic, industrial, operational and commercial.

Those projects rescued thousand of families scattered in the previously mentioned fields which are not subjected to military influential people laws. They also characterized by their freedom and independency except few extreme cases which made their owners return to zero point. Actually, those projects achieved a monthly income that reached 500 $ which may increase or decrease as per market conditions.

The Syrian fact proves the importance of small developmental projects to steer economic wheel in the country in which economic was destroyed and most of its resources was eliminated. In the light of these facts, tacking care of small projects is considered to be a center point for development and a escape from the crisis to promote both industrial and service sector changing the social reality made by war in addition to treat economic deficiencies emerging from making up the shortfall and filling the gap between producing goods and services and the need for them in addition to refreshing production stagnation resulted form suspension of most industries and production sectors in Syria.
