Despite the continued siege imposed on our people in Damascus countryside and the consequent extreme hardship \u2013 driven by poverty, hunger and incapacity, a new hope has appeared through enabling the besieged households to become self-reliant in obtaining their food needs and opening employment opportunities to them.<\/p>\n

Supporting Partner<\/p>\n

Beyaz Eller organization has collaborated with\u00a0 \u201cRahma Islamic Relief Fund\u201d to open employment opportunities to the besieged households in the area, by employing 30 workers throughout 6 months to grow 30 acres of faba beans.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, the harvest was distributed to the besieged families to cover part of their needs for this key legume during winter.<\/p>\n

Where Are We Active?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The imposed siege of Eastern Ghouta (Damascus countryside) and the consequent humanitarian hardship\u2013 driven by poverty, hunger, and unemployment, has catalyzed the implementation of this project in this area. Thirty acres were cultivated with Faba beans which is a key legume in Syria.\"\u062e\u0636\u0631\u0648\u0627\u062a<\/p>\n

The average productivity of each acre was 500 kilograms, as the total harvest amounted to 15,000 kilograms for the cultivated area.<\/p>\n

Project Beneficiaries<\/strong><\/p>\n
