Sometimes what look like the most ordinary items can make a world of difference to families undergoing the toughest of hardships.
While the European Union-funded Emergency Social Safety Net (ESSN) program has wide-ranging and comprehensive objectives - to help vulnerable refugee families cover their basic needs - the cash assistance provided has also helped bring some “small yet incredible” moments of joy to many families.
Tales abound of how things that most of us consider ordinary have meant the world to suffering families. Here are some of those stories.

The ESSN is implemented by the World Food Programme along with its Turkish partners, which include the Turkish Red Crescent.
