Because the Syrian women have their special place in the society and home, and because they are capable of producing and manufacturing and have the will to support themselves and their families, IhsanRD has launched a new project in several areas of rural Idlib, which aims to empower women and support livelihoods that allow them to preserve their dignity and put them in the right place as a productive member in the society that has been and continues to suffer the brunt of war.
This project is providing the necessary equipment and raw materials for the production process of milk, cheese, pomegranate molasses and many other household products that Syrian women are characterized by their ability to produce them with high qualities specifications, which give them in return a decent income and provides the local market with an outstanding product.

For more than six years, Syrian people have been suffering from the cruel conditions of the war, during which the agricultural process was severely damaged, especially in the northern regions of Syria, but this was not an enough reason for Syrian people to fall victim to despair and surrender, however they continue to produce.

Ihsan for Relief & Development, in cooperation with WHH and funded by the German Foreign Office, is implementing a project consisting of two main activities:

The first aspect includes supporting farmers with agricultural vouchers that allow them to purchase agricultural inputs and equipment during two seasons in summer and winter, as well as providing irrigation support vouchers to farmers in rural areas of western Aleppo.

The second aspect includes the support of the local communities with bread, where 4000 daily bread packages are distributed in the areas of Kernabal and Jisr al-Shughour.
