Our teams have been busy providing awareness on the need to care for and protect our communities, and on Kurdistan Environment Day in April 2023, we planted around 500 fig and blueberry trees to benefit families in Essyan camp, as well as 40 Robinia and Cypress trees in public spaces.
We also distributed nearly 500 brochures about environmental issues, containing information on harvesting wild edible plants which grow in spring. We’ve also conducted environmental awareness campaigns in Domiz 2 and Rwanga camp as part of the initiative.
These kinds of campaigns and activities will be increasing under our new Climate Change pillar - and we welcome any support in expanding this essential area of our work.
