#Accountability, #Transparency, and #Communication: Connecting Donors and Local Partners for Sustainable Change
✨ At Mercy Hands Europe, our projects transcend mere initiatives; they focus on building meaningful connections between our generous donors and the communities they support. Recently, we facilitated a transparent and impactful discussion with our donor, aligning their commitment with the genuine needs of our beneficiaries on the ground.
🎯 During this meeting, we shared our strategy for long-term sustainability, emphasizing our commitment to gradually reduce external support over time. Together, we empower local communities to cultivate resilience and self-reliance, enabling them to thrive and sustain their livelihoods independently.
🤍 With support from the @eafoundationuk and our dedicated local partner @iaco_sy , we take pride in forging partnerships that lead to tangible, sustainable change. It’s an honor to collaborate with them as we work together for a better future.
🌍✨ Exciting news!
As a part of our project, "Strengthening Civil Society and the Rule of Law in Iraq as a Peacebuilding Tool" a goal is to submit a series of 15 reports to the UN human rights bodies.
🎉 We are proud to announce the submission of the first report!
📄This report was developed through the dedicated efforts of The Network of Civil Societies borne as a result of the project.

🙌🏻We are pleased to share recent updates from our healthcare center in Qabbasin, Aleppo Governorate, where we’ve conducted two impactful awareness sessions focusing on early marriage and bullying prevention.
👧🏻👱🏻♀️These sessions, held in a local school, reached over 13 young girls per session, providing them with crucial information on recognizing risks and fostering safe, respectful environments.
🫶🏼Through open discussions and interactive activities, we aim to empower young girls with knowledge and resources to make informed decisions and stand up against bullying. Our commitment is to continue providing these essential sessions to support the health, safety, and well-being of girls in our community.
🤝We are incredibly grateful for our partnership with our local collaborator, International Agricultural Cooperation Organization.
And a big thank you to @eafoundationuk for their invaluable support, which has made this work possible.
❤️Together, we’re driving positive change and making a lasting impact.

💧 Success in Bringing Clean Water to Communities!✨
🙏🏽The water tank activity is successfully completed! Here are some pictures from the Water, Plants, and Animals for Sustainable Ethiopia project, showcasing the finished water tank, distribution point, and cattle trough.
👩🏾👨🏾Now, 375 people (184 men and 191 women) who previously relied on unclean water sources like unprotected springs, are finally able to access clean water. With our dedicated efforts, the risk of waterborne diseases are dramatically reduced, bringing health benefits to these communities.🌱🌍
🌍💧The People of Amhara region express their heartfelt gratitude to Agri Services Ethiopia, Our generous donors and Mercy Hands Europe for making their dreams of clean water in the heart of their village a reality. 💧✨

As we enter our second week in delivering classes to girls from the Shatt Al-Arab district in Basra, Iraq, let`s have a deep dive into why these classes are so important.
Skills Gaps: According to UNESCO, only 17% of women in the region have basic digital skills, compared to 27% of men, which significantly restricts their ability to compete in a tech-driven world. This disparity is even more pronounced in less populated areas like Basra.
Employment Impact: In Iraq, only 13% of women participate in the workforce, compared to 72% of men, partly due to limited access to technology and technical training. Developing ICT skills could improve employability and support economic growth by opening new pathways in high-demand digital fields.
Thanks to the #CFLI we have an opportunity to address the digital gender divide!
