The aim of the intervention is to create a sustainable and inclusive space within the Khanke camp where women and girls can learn about and engage in greenhouse farming. The project aims to provide participants with practical skills, build their self-confidence, promote community engagement, and contribute to environmental sustainability. Training workshops and practical sessions will teach basic gardening techniques, while market visits will familiarize participants with the economic aspects of farming. Four women will own and operate the greenhouse to enable them to become self-sufficient and financially independent. The project aims to improve the lives of ten Yazidi women in the IDP camp by increasing household income by 60%, doubling the availability of fresh produce, and building agricultural knowledge and confidence. Furthermore, the project aims to promote mental well-being and environmental sustainability through improved soil health and biodiversity.

The aim of the project is to offer students at the OurBridge School in northern Iraq the opportunity to pursue further education in agriculture and environmental protection after they graduate. This will be made possible by the creation of 14 gardens covering an area of ​​almost 8.000 square meters. These gardens will serve not only as a learning environment but also as a practical demonstration tool for imparting important skills and knowledge in agriculture and environmental protection. Key measures include training the young people on the GreenedBridge Farm, which has 14 hanging gardens, a classroom, and a sanitary facility. Construction is scheduled to be completed within three months. Lessons will be held in the classroom, on the farm grounds, and in the village, where trees are already being planted and cared for. After an introduction to plant growth, the students will grow their own trees to be planted during the next reforestation campaign.

The aim of the measure is to increase the income of teachers in camp schools by providing a monthly salary and at the same time to improve the learning experience of students by providing schools with basic educational tools.
