🌍✨ Celebrating World Soil Day with Wubaye Erget and Amhara Region! 🌱
Meet Wubaye Erget, a resilient farmer and mother of four from Debre Sina Asmare kebelle, Kuskuam village. As a proud member of the CoLF group, she has been supported with vegetable seeds by our project.
Today, she’s carefully transplanting her vegetable seedlings from the seedbed to the main farmland, nurtured by her own high-quality Vermi compost. This sustainable practice not only improves soil fertility but also ensures a thriving harvest for her family and community. 🌿💚
Healthy soil, sustainable farming, and empowered farmers like Wubaye are the foundation of a better future!
🤍 This project is made possible thanks to the generous support of our donors: @ville_de_geneve, @eafoundationuk, CARBOGEN AMCIS, and the commune of Chêne-Bourg.

Last week, we launched the project “Welcoming Lebanese Guests in Iraq: Emergency Assistance and Transitional Support for Lebanese Households Arriving in Iraq,” starting December 1st.
Recent developments have required us to adapt quickly. The ceasefire in Lebanon has allowed many Lebanese to begin returning home, while escalating conflict in Syria has led to the closure of the Al Qaim border. This has halted entry for Lebanese and Syrian arrivals, creating new challenges for our operations.
We are responding by:
• Establishing a rest and support area in Al Qaim for Lebanese individuals #returning to Lebanon.
• Preparing to assist both #Lebanese and #Syrian individuals, who are now facing similar challenges, as they navigate the border while seeking to enter or exit Iraq.
• Prioritizing support for Lebanese guests already in Iraq over initial plans to distribute food and clothing.
Our field staff at @mercy_hands is in daily contact with local authorities, ensuring we remain flexible to meet #urgent needs in this #volatile situation.
This project is made possible by @etat_geneve and @villeonex

🚨 New Announcement! 🚨
We are pleased to announce the launch our new humanitarian project to support Lebanese arrivals who have made their way to in Iraq.
In partnership with @mercy_hands, @mercy_path_for_women_affairs and @iraqi_telemedicine_center, we aim to provide urgent relief and long-term support for Lebanese families displaced by recent conflicts. Through this initiative, we are addressing critical needs such as shelter, food, medical care, psychological support, and legal assistance.
Our mission goes beyond emergency relief—we’re committed to creating pathways for recovery, stability, and dignity for these families as they navigate a challenging new chapter.
Stay tuned for updates as we work tirelessly to make a difference, one family at a time. Together, we can bring hope and support where it’s needed most. 💪✨
