How we work
The main principle we follow is to ask people what kind of help they need most
The main principle we follow is to ask people what kind of help they need most
Our main goal is to help people in need return to the lives they led before the war or terrorist attacks. We want to give them a chance to become self-reliant and independent from external aid. That is why we rebuild and repair damaged houses, open shops, workshops, and workplaces, support farming households, and provide education for women and children.
All our activities are a direct response to the requests for help that we receive. We do not have one specific field in which we specialize — our aid is tailored to the individual needs of the affected people.

The way we help
We open and develop workplaces
Through the GREAT JOB project, we open shops, workshops, and workplaces, and we help develop those that already exist. This allows the families we support to gain the means to provide for themselves. They receive an opportunity for economic stability, which in the long term can lead to complete independence from external aid.
We open these small family businesses in Iraq and Nigeria. They include, among others: hair salons, tailor shops, auto repair workshops, bakeries, grocery and clothing stores, and various types of artisan workshops (such as upholsterers, carpenters, locksmiths, and welders).

We provide education
From the beginning of our work, we have focused on providing education for both children and adults. We equip schools with whiteboards, printers, cleaning products, and educational materials. We buy school textbooks, pay tuition fees, and organize day camps, therapeutic activities, and vocational courses.
We build and co-run schools, community rooms, and educational centers. We want to give children the opportunity to get an education and to develop in a safe environment.

We rebuild and repair houses
We rebuild and repair houses that have been destroyed or damaged as a result of armed conflicts or acts of terror. Ensuring that people have a roof over their heads is a cornerstone of humanitarian aid, both during war and after hostilities are over.
In Iraq, we have built over seventy houses from scratch for families who had lived in tents for years after they were forced to flee from ISIS terrorists. In Nigeria, we installed new roofs in over 120 houses in a village that had been attacked and burned by terrorists a few months earlier. The first families began moving back in even before the work was completed. We provided a similar aid in Ukraine, where we repaired roofs on over 170 damaged houses.

We support farming households
We support families who, before the war or terrorist attacks, worked in agriculture or livestock farming. In many cases, they lost all their possessions and were deprived of their only source of income.
As with other workplaces, we help families rebuild destroyed farms, giving them a chance to return to their previous livelihoods. We provide livestock (cows, sheep, goats, chickens), seeds, fertilizers, and irrigation systems. We build farmyards, greenhouses, and apiaries. Each time, we tailor our aid to the individual needs and experience of every family.

We tailor aid to individual needs
Our priority is to help people return to normal life. But in certain situations, other forms of aid are needed as well. We always try to respond to people’s needs, and we are not limited by any strict frameworks.
In Iraq, we have supported families who, following the genocide, we forced to live in camps for internally displaced persons, for example by providing them with household appliances like refrigerators and washing machines. In several towns we helped repair damaged electricity infrastructure (power transmission lines and high-power generators). We have funded surgeries, medical procedures, and the purchase of medicines. We have also provided various forms of targeted aid, such as food, drinking water, and heating fuel.
