Nadia's Initiative Supports Female-Headed Farming Households - Phase II

Justice for Yazidi farmers means restoring their livelihoods. In 2014, ISIS intentionally destroyed the farmlands of thousands of Yazidi families as a tactic of its genocidal campaign. Without basic farming infrastructure, there is little for Yazidis to return home to. 

Nadia’s Initiative is implementing a restoration project that is providing hundreds of female-headed farming households with open-field irrigated farming, kitchen gardens, greenhouses, dairy cows, and cash payments. Re-establishing the primary source of Sinjar’s local economy simultaneously empowers Yazidi women with the skills and resources to reclaim their agricultural land and rebuild their lives.
