Shlama from the gorgeous village of Armash where we've completed our second phase of building irrigation canals! With funding from L'Œuvre d'Orient, we were able to build 1,610 meters. Farming is one of the very few ways families generate income in this remote village.

This is our second phase of this project, as we b

Shlama from the beautiful skies of Nahla! A family of 4 depends on a small goat business they have. However, without a proper shed, they lost their goats earlier in the year due to a wolf attack at night. We built a proper goat shed, provided maize and 20 additional goats thanks to the support of the Assyrian Foundation of America. This project will strengthen their livelihood, and help them continue live in their homeland.
