Fields of Operation

The fields of humanitarian service that Star Edge is currently working in.

Protection

Governments are responsible for protecting the rights of refugees, stateless and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Humanitarian agencies are mandated to assist states to fulfill their obligations with due consideration for the Humanitarian Charter, Protection Principles, and the internationally defined Core and Minimum Standards to be attained during a humanitarian response.

Education

Education is a basic human right and essential protection measure in situations of displacement. Quality education saves lives by providing physical protection from dangers and exploitation often present during displacement. Education can convey life-saving information to children and their families, strengthening survival skills and coping mechanisms which can be essential during displacement

Food Security and Livelihood

People should have access to adequate and appropriate food and income generation opportunities in a manner that is accountable, ensures their survival and well-being, prevents erosion of their assets, and upholds their safety and dignity.

Camp

The mission of Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) is to ensure equitable access to shelter and protection for displaced persons living in communal settings, to improve their quality of life and dignity during displacement, and to advocate for solutions while preparing them for life after displacement

WASH

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services must meet basic needs. Providing these services in sufficient quantity and quality is urgent for people to survive, stay in good health, and maintain dignity.

Non-Food Items and shelter

In addition to Food Security, people should also have access to adequate non-food items (NFIs) and housing/shelter, as all people should be provided with the means to live in safe, dignified, and appropriate living conditions. .

About Us

Star Edge Foundation For Relief and Development

The Star Edge Foundation for Relief and Development (SEFRD) is a Global-based nonprofit organization which strives to provide relief to refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in need. Our first initiative was the establishment and management of the “Mustard Tree” Atmeh IDP camp in Syria, home to thousands of IDP. SEFRD has been operating in and around the globe, Turkey, and currently designs and carries out its project through and implementing arm of the organization in Ankara, Turkey, registered locally and separately there as Nur Dernegi

The name “Star Edge” was established after meeting an inspirational young girl who was hit by Syrian government shrapnel and paralyzed. Talking to her, and hearing her inspiring words, convinced the founders that more was needed to provide real support--both in aid, and operations to assist in efforts for victims of war.

SEFRD first initiative was again to establish and manage the "Mustard Tree" Atmeh IDP camp on the Syrian side of the Turkish border, in the governorate in Idleb. After witnessing the thousands of IDPs sleeping outside, and without shelter, SEFRD immediately purchased and set up the necessary tents--thereby establishing the camp for IDPs. The "Mustard Tree" Atmeh IDP camp remains to this day, sheltering well over 11.000 people.
