The ongoing Syrian conflict, which began in 2011, has forced millions of Syrians to flee their homeland in search of safety and a better life.

The decision to leave one's home country and embark on a perilous journey is never taken lightly. Syrians facing violence, persecution, and a lack of basic necessities often see no other option but to seek refuge elsewhere. Germany, known for its relatively welcoming stance towards refugees, has become a destination of hope for many.

Paying €7,000 to human smugglers is a staggering amount for most Syrians. These smugglers promise safe passage and the chance at a new life in Germany. However, the reality is far from the assurances given. Many refugees are crammed into unsafe and overcrowded vessels or trucks, risking their lives during treacherous journeys. The financial burden incurred by these families often leaves them in a cycle of debt.
