From a motorcycle workshop to a store selling ornamental fish: How Caritas Czech Republic supports small business owners in Iraq

Apart from being the most fertile area in Iraq, the Nineveh province in the north of the country is also known for being the historic homeland of one of the oldest Christian communities. In 2014, many of its members fled their homes in fear of persecution by the self-proclaimed Islamic State. Some returned in 2017, only to find their towns and businesses devastated. Caritas Czech Republic helps them relaunch their old businesses and find new ways to provide for themselves.

How Iraqi farmers rebuild their farms thanks to Caritas Czech Republic’s support

The Nineveh plains in northern Iraq are called the breadbasket of the country. When in 2014 the self-proclaimed Islamic State occupied the region, it seized and destroyed land, seeds, grains, crops, and equipment from local farmers, who had to flee their homes. After the defeat of the jihadist group, many of them have succeeded in reviving their farms with the support of Caritas Czech Republic.
