Providing 499 Syrians with the land, tools, materials, plants, and training needed to grow tomatoes, strawberries, and other crops, and keep bees for honey production.
Problem
Syrian Refugees in Turkey have a difficult time providing for their families because it is hard to find work. Most work informally and are subject to poor conditions, longer hours, and less pay as a result. This project is working to support Syrians with an interest and/or experience in agriculture and beekeeping to start these activities in Turkey and provide a dignified living for themselves and their families
