Raising the economic standard of women (Displaced Persons in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Ashti Camp) in Arbat
The project "Enhancing the Economic Status of Women (Displaced Persons in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Ashti Camp) in Arbat" began on March 1, 2023, and continued until December 31, 2023, as a livelihood project in the Kurdistan Region. The project received good reception from beneficiaries due to its good design and multiple services.
The process of selecting beneficiaries was primarily related to the locations where People’s Development Organization (PDO) has worked in displaced persons camps. The project used "criteria" to select the most needy and deserving women and families to participate in the project, for participation in sewing and beauty salon training for 44 women.
One of the most important impacts of this project was its effect on a large number of displaced women in a very short time. For some, it was a good start to learning new skills and work experience, as well as a way to go out and share their skills to support each other.
Additionally, the project helped women become empowered and believe in themselves to work outside and become economically independent for themselves and their families.
Women in the framework of the project came to believe that it is their right to have their own work and learn new skills, within the framework of the project supporting displaced women, with TERRA TECH organization. Moreover, women achieved a number of success stories and were able to find their way to continuous growth. The total number of beneficiaries of the project was 4,587 women.
