Homs today is witnessing a new wave of community initiatives and opportunities that aim to rebuild and achieve sustainable development from within. Local projects such as street lighting and youth‑driven ideas are improving safety and creating economic opportunities. At the same time, UN‑Habitat has launched disaster risk reduction programs to train volunteers and prepare proactive plans, while FAO supports women’s empowerment in rural areas through literacy programs and Dimitra Clubs. In the health sector, MedGlobal is rehabilitating hospitals and clinics, deploying mobile medical teams, and training local staff. Community funding efforts, such as the “Homs Wednesday” conference, have raised more than $13 million to support infrastructure and public services. Together, these initiatives show Homs’ strong determination to recover and grow, blending local development, women’s empowerment, healthcare, and disaster preparedness into a comprehensive vision for a better future.
