A great project our partners in Dohuk, Jinda Organization implemented for Yazidi survivors of the IS-Genocide while our partners from KirkukNow made this nice report.
"After receiving two greenhouses from Jinda NGO, Haifa and her colleagues now manage every stage of farming themselves—from plowing and planting to irrigation and sales.
The project began after 50 IDP women and girls participated in training courses organized by Jinda, an organization supporting displaced communities in Duhok northern province. Following the training, six participants from Khanke and Sharia camps received two greenhouses to apply what they had learned.
The 45-day course focused on three key goals: education, economic independence, and helping participants move beyond the trauma of war and displacement. The program specifically targeted women who had experienced violence at the hands of the extremist militants of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria ISIS and forced displacement.
Haifa, who has lived in Khanke camp for over a decade, joined the program while unemployed.
“I wanted to achieve my goal of working and earning an income, so I joined the course enthusiastically,” Haifa said.
Today, the participants grow cucumbers, eggplants, okra, and seasonal crops, selling them both inside and outside the camp.
“This year we only harvested cucumbers so far and sold more than 300 kilograms because demand for local produce is high. We expect to sell okra and eggplants soon,” she explained.
Nura Daoud, 38, a mother of four, says the greenhouse has helped her contribute financially alongside her husband.
Together, the family now supports their children using both her husband’s income and the roughly 200,000 Iraqi dinars IQD ($130) she earns from farming.
Since receiving the greenhouses in 2025, the women have successfully completed three cucumber harvests—twice last year and once this year—matching the results of experienced farmers."
