Behind every olive tree is a story of resilience, work and hope.
In Al-Bab, Aleppo Governorate, Syria, we are supporting olive farmers and their communities in protecting their livelihoods and strengthening the sustainability of local olive production.
In this interview, one of the people, Abu Karmo, involved in the project, shares his experience, his challenges and what this support means for him and his family.
Through the Olive Oil Project, we aim not only to support agricultural production, but also to help farmers preserve a vital source of income, strengthen their resilience and continue cultivating a crop deeply rooted in the region’s identity and history.
A special thank you to @iaco_sy for the implementation of the project, and to @eafoundationuk for making this intervention possible through its generous support.

SELAM, A LEGAL CREDIT AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION
The WAPII project in collaboration with Agri Service Ethiopia and the District Cooperative Office has established a new legal credit and savings association.
The founding members are 355 CoLF members (313 female and 42 male). Membership is open to both WAP I and WAP II CoLF group members.
The association will conduct regular savings, provide microloans to its members, and collect and manage rolling funds in collaboration with relevant stakeholders and the community development facilitator. The association has an executive committee of seven members (3 men and 4 women).
This new initiative represents an important step toward strengthening the long-term sustainability of the WAP project. By creating a legally recognized structure for savings, microloans and rolling funds, CoLF members will be better able to access financial resources, invest in their livelihoods and support one another beyond the project period.
🙏 We are grateful to our partners, Agri Service Ethiopia in collaboration with the District Cooperative Office, and warmly thank our donors: @ville_de_geneve, @collonge.bellerive, Commune de Vandoeuvres and Commune de Chêne-Bourg (and among other donors) for supporting WAP II, and to Agri Service Ethiopia for implementing the project alongside the communities.

A closer look at our food delivery programme in Gaza. What does food assistance mean beyond the numbers?
In Gaza, our partner @ihhinsaniyardim continue working to deliver food to people who need it.
Behind every delivery is more than a number. It means:
- 🍲 Providing food on the table
- 🤲 Responding to an immediate need
- 🏠 Supporting families
- 🤝 Preserving dignity in a time of uncertainty
Every meal is one part of a wider response. And the work continues.
But the needs remain immense. Your support can help us continue reaching more families with essential food assistance.
Donate today and help us keep this support going : https://mercyhandseurope.org/get-involved/#
A special thank you to our donor, @seedcharity, for their trust and generous support, which made this response possible.

SUCCESS STORY, THE SEEDS OF FREEDOM. 🌱 One story, part of a much bigger journey.
Through WAP II – Water, Animals and Plants for a Sustainable and Peaceful Ethiopia, Mercy Hands Europe and Agri Service Ethiopia are working alongside rural communities to strengthen resilience through improved water access, sustainable agriculture, livelihood opportunities and community-based action.
Vegetable production is one part of this wider approach: helping households make their livelihoods more diverse and sustainable while strengthening their capacity to face future challenges.
Stories like Mechalie’s remind us that meaningful change often begins with practical opportunities at household level — and grows through long-term investment in communities. 💚
🙏 We are grateful to @ville_de_geneve, @collonge.bellerive, Commune de Vandœuvres and Commune de Chêne-Bourg (and among other donors) for supporting WAP II, and to Agri Service Ethiopia for implementing the project alongside the communities.
