ABOUT THE PROJECT

For more than 5 years war has been raging in Syria. Thousands of refugees have undertaken the dangerous journey to Europe to save their lives. “Keys of Hope” aims at sending a message of solidarity. And a signal of hope - until a peaceful life in Syria is possible again.

THE STORIES

Behind every key is a human being. Behind every human being there is a story. The interviews were taken in a hostel for refugees run by the Malteser Hilfsdienst in Hamburg as well as in a refugee camp in Sid close to the border of Serbia and Croatia. In order to protect the refugees and their relatives original names have been changed.

About Caritas Germany, International Department

The journey through the Balkan countries has been the main route for refugees as they are searching for a life in safety and dignity. Together with partner organizations Caritas Germany supports people in need who had to leave everything behind.

PRESS

A key in the palm of a hand –
this is the central motif for caritas international’s new “Keys of Hope” campaign launched in March 2016 coinciding with the fifth anniversary of the start of the Syrian civil war. With this campaign, we draw on powerful symbolism. Many Syrians take their house keys with them when they flee the country – the key represents a wish for a safe home and the hope of one day being able to return to their homeland. “Keys of Hope” tells these people’s stories.

In our press section you will find various documents and materials
for your work.
