Dova International Charities, Ltd. is working with our partner, Iraqi Christian Relief Council (ICRC), (https://iraqichristianrelief.org/), on a project in Iraq to provide Christian women in villages in the Nineveh with funding for Business & Entrepreneurship opportunities. There are multiple projects that were funded with the monies we provided and that ICRC raised themselves.
Project Goal: These funds will create viable businesses for women entrepreneurs in order to create jobs for themselves and 10 families. Times are dire in Iraq for the Christians in the Nineveh who desperately need to take care of their families with viable and steady employment however jobs are scarce. This project will allow these women business developers, innovators and entrepreneurs to create Kubbeh food manufacturing factories so as to provide good, steady, well paying jobs for themselves, their families and friends as well as for their communities. These food manufacturing businesses will certainly empower these Christian women as well as lift up their communities.
Fortunately, the funds have all been raised, therefore we are waiting to hear from the Assyrian Aid of Iraq charitable organization, working on the ground in Iraq, who are distributing the funds and helping these women get their projects off the ground and completed before we will be able to see the progress and completion of these projects.
Thank you to these wonderful partners for all of their hard work for the Christians in Iraq. Stay tunes for details!!
***Details have arrived. Our donation of $8,000.00 to our partner Iraqi Christian Relief Council (ICRC) facilitated the opening of a food supply factory for the Assyrian Women Union of Kirkuk, Iraq, where many delicious food items, including the specialty Kubbeh meat pie, are manufactured. See photos and video at the bottom of the post.***
