Members of Rojava Beauties Group on Facebook have raised funds for purchasing the essential supplies and needs for the displaced people, who fled the attacks of Turkish military and its affiliated armed opposition groups on northeastern Syria, especially from the city of Ras al-Ain (Sere-Kaniye).

Helen Mohammed Osman, a girl from Qamishli manages Rojava Beauties on Facebook, which has been established for more than two years with more than 45,000 members, is collecting donations through their page and buy food, sleeping mats, wheelchairs, stoves and many other basic needs for the IDPs.

Helen explained to North-Press that most members of the group are married women and mothers of children who feel the pain of the other mothers when one of their children gets cold or starves.

For this purpose, the group members are trying to provide a better life for women and children, and to help those who are in need.

Helen and her friends collect donations at her father's house, because it is close to the city market, and then distribute them to those displaced people from the area of Ras al-Ain.
