Congrats to Khalida for opening her stationery shop! As part of our small business support in Batnaya, this is our 8th and final small business to open. This project is a two-phase, $40,000 investment in the town that brought back a building which had sat destroyed for 10 years following the ISIS invasion. As part of the project, all shop owners are enjoying 50 months of rent-free occupancy, giving them time to establish and grow their businesses. Phase 2 was made possible by L'Œuvre d'Orient and Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 💙 🇫🇷 Thank you from the homeland!
