WeiterlesenNadia's Initiative is closing the gender gap and reducing the vulnerabilities of female farmers in Sinjar by providing them the resources and skills they need to thrive in the farming industry.
WeiterlesenNadia's Initiative recognizes that investing in women’s economic independence in Sinjar has far-reaching benefits for their families and the entire community. That's why we're continuously working to restore farmlands and agricultural infrastructure in Sinjar that ISIS destroyed.
WeiterlesenThrough NI’s women’s empowerment project for female farmers in Sinjar, Sevi received theoretical and practical trainings on sustainable farming techniques, as well as tools, equipment, and a greenhouse that will increase the efficiency and productivity of her farm.
WeiterlesenAgricultural production is crucial to the Sinjar region's economy, and Yazidi women are an integral part of that output. Through our team's expert supervision, we have supported 35 female farmers and their families with essential training, tools, equipment, livestock, and supplies they need to develop sustainable farms and thrive.
WeiterlesenNadia’s Initiative’s project to provide 35 female-headed farming households with critical trainings, equipment, and supplies is well underway. Vulnerable women are receiving group theoretical trainings on sustainable farming techniques, as well as tailored practical trainings adapted to their needs and expertise.
WeiterlesenNadia’s Initiative is supporting female farmers by launching a project to equip female-headed farming households with sustainable agricultural training and an array of tools, resources, and livestock, including greenhouses, solar panels, and sheep.
WeiterlesenWomen in Sinjar are struggling to provide for themselves and their families. NI’s livelihoods projects aim to address this. Sustainable agricultural support means women can provide for their families, meet their daily needs, and reduce their dependence on humanitarian aid.
Weiterlesen“This project has improved the morale of many of the women in the community. We are grateful that… there is more acceptance of women being the primary income earners.“ Read how Khokhi revitalized her farm with support from NI’s project to empower female farmers.
Weiterlesen“This greenhouse will play a big role in changing my family’s life and improving our situation. This project has given me great hope that our family income will grow for the future. I also hope that Nadia’s Initiative and Dorcas continue projects like this in our area because many survivors and widows need them.”

WeiterlesenNadia’s Initiative is excited to announce the launch of our Support to Women’s Livelihoods project that will benefit 345 female-headed farming households in Sinjar, Iraq. This project is implemented by Dorcas Aid International and is financed by the GIZ commissioned by the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany.
WeiterlesenNadia’s Initiative rehabilitated 32 farming households throughout the Sinjar region – a project that began in September 2019. Farming has been a main source of income for Yazidis for generations, but when ISIS attacked the region in 2014, they intentionally burned and destroyed farms to ensure Yazidis would never return.
Weiterlesen“ISIS destroyed our farms and stole all our agricultural and household possessions. Despite this, we did not give up and decided to live on our destroyed farms without having any basic necessities.After a period of struggling, we received support from Nadia’s Initiative. The Initiative brought life back to the region.”
WeiterlesenIn September 2019, Nadia’s Initiative - with implementing partner Dorcas Aid International - began the official implementation of our Farming and Livelihoods project made possible thanks to a generous grant from the Republic of China (Taiwan).
