Calorie boost for survival
AVC has been involved in the region since the outbreak of the civil war in Syria. Since the liberation of the Syrian border town of Kobane from IS, we have been supporting the refugees on Syrian soil with food supplies, medical aid and a large industrial bakery.
In 2016, the large-scale bakery built by AVC is officially inaugurated. By the end of 2017, production reaches a processing of seven tons of flour from local cultivation. The 85,000 loaves of bread produced in each of 2019 and 2020 will be distributed in refugee camps in the Kobane region all the way to Raqqa. For many people, this is the only food supply. AVC employs 27 people in the bakery.
