This project aims to provide technical support to cattle breeders specifically milking cows’ and ewes’ breeders as an attempt to preserve the livestock size in all besieged areas of Rural Damascus particularly Eastern Ghouta. Considering that the livestock size is decrementing day by day affected by the imposed besiegement. Therefore, this project will focus on targeting 79 milking cows’ breeders and 34 milking ewes’ breeders and will provide them with a sufficient quantity of fodder that suffices their heifers for a period of time, considering that the availability of fodder is very rare. Additionally, through this project breeders are going to be invited to attend a series of awareness sessions to increase their awareness and preparedness in terms of the different ways of breeding to follow and how to increase and develop their personal livestock size. Not to forget that a series of market linking events are going to be provided to all selected breeders and interns. These events will help targeted beneficiaries identify all possible gaps milk production is facing and work on proposing all possible solutions. Moreover, this project is going to provide a job opportunity for 113 young breeders who will be recruited to support the direct beneficiaries for a monthly salary. Finally, through this project we are going to be supporting two peasants’ federations by establishing one training room for each federation to be used to serve all farmers.

Supporting 54 heifer keepers in Al-Houla area through providing them with Fodder, veterinary care and awareness sessions and such session will discuss different topics related to cow raising and breeding techniques

Preparation and cooking of 639 hot meals to be distributed on 639 families from the besieged Douma city in Eastern Ghouta (the meal consists of cooked rice and cooked meat weighing 3,300 grams) daily for ten days in a row. Where the region is currently experiencing very difficult security conditions, including the closure of all crossings through which local traders can supply the region with various supplies of food and non-food, non-availability of all kinds of food and non-food goods and the very high prices of those available ones. Thus, the idea of ​​this project was to cook and distribute hot meals to families that have not yet received any kind of assistance from any party in the besieged Douma city as an attempt to address the negative consequences of this brutal siege.

LIVELIHOOD AND LIVESTOCK PROJECT – PHASE 3, concentrated on maintaining and
improving the livestock situation in Eastern Ghouta by providing the livestock keepers who
received cows to raise from the previous phase of the project (86 livestock keepers received
cows in phase 2) with fodder to feed the cows. The folder was distributed twice throughout the
project’s timeframe. Additionally, another major component of the project was a mobile
veterinary clinic which conducted rounds in several areas in Eastern ghost in order to provide
veterinary services for all kinds of livestock to around 1,827 beneficiaries. Furthermore, the
project included private and public awareness session for livestock keepers which addressed
different topics related to livestock rearing and associated skills.

This project aimed to help vulnerable households without a main financial provider. Such
households included mainly single mothers with multiple children. The Food For thought
Projected included the distribution of two food baskets twice per month during the duration of
the project.

This project aims to provide those Syrian families with food items. Essentially minimizing the daily sufferance that the Syrian refugees in Lebanon are facing. So far IHR has been able to distribute 2,649-Food Baskets to 2,649 Syrian families in Bekaa and Akkar which will suffice them for a whole month.

Contributing to providing minimum standards of food security to the inhabitants of Eastern Ghouta by distributing comprehensive food rations to them, alleviating their financial burden.

The project aims to counter the decrease in cattle population in Eastern Ghouta by providing cattle farmers with one cow each –along with a 3 month supply of fodder– and selling their milk product at an IHR-run center in the town of Misraba. This, in addition to regular veterinary care – a Vet Center open for consultations and awareness sessions open to the public. This ensures a sustainable source of income for the direct beneficiaries (31 selected farmers) all the while providing low-cost quality milk to the indirect beneficiaries (the residents of Misraba).

For more than 3 years, the people of Talbiseh have been living under siege deprived from essential food & living supplies. Therefore, IHR team alleviated the needs of the people by distributing food baskets that included meals and products.

Eastern Ghouta lacks all essential living dietary materials as it has been under siege for a long time. As part of its long-term local projects strategy, our team started working on a ‘Harvest (corn and eggplants) for Farmers’ project. This consisted of providing seeds and seedlings for farmers and offering technical support in order to till the soil and make the land arable. In addition, our team supplied farmers with fuel for water pumps and secured experts to supervise the project from the very beginning until crop production.

We determined the deterioration of food security was dire and the the needs of people in the north countryside of Homs were not being met.  IHR  implemented a 3-stage project to distribute Food Baskets among displaced families in addition to distributing bread at Al-Rastan area.

Providing flour to Sahl Al-Ghab and Hama eastern rural bakeries:

Each bakery cooks 1 ton/day of flour which means around 1000 bread loaves – an average of 50 tons per month for the two bakeries. Our team distributed 2000 bread loaves daily to people at a price of 35 Syrian Pounds/per loaves.

Update: the contract was extended and 75 tons of flour was produced per month.

The Raising Rabbits project provided a dietary protein source as a replacement for  the protein usually provided from sheep and beef.
The project was divided into stages:
1) rabbit’s health care                                        3) breeding and production

2) insemination and mating                               4) Selling rabbits for a cheap price.

These steps allowed families to buy rabbits, raise them, then eat them. This project was one of the most significant projects carried out by IHR as the rabbits, unlike other animals, have short pregnancy durations and large births number.
