About the Campaign
Project Samples
Examples of projects available for support in this campaign
Perfume, Accessories and Textiles Shop – Reopening
The project is a small shop selling a variety of everyday products: perfumes and perfume blending, accessories, textiles and underwear, cosmetics and personal care, sewing supplies, and basic household items. The shop is located in the New Garage in Jableh, a busy commercial spot with steady traffic from employees, students, workers, and villagers passing through daily. The aim is to provide a wide range of personal and family needs in one place, making it easier for customers without having to go to the city. The premises and fittings are in place and ready to operate with no additional setup needed. The owner is a person with a disability and his mother has health challenges; she shares the work in the shop, and reopening would be their main source of income.
Reclaiming and Cultivating Land in Rural Al-Haffa with Olives and Vine
A project led by a female agricultural engineering student to reclaim and cultivate land in Rural Al-Haffa region by planting olives and French vine leaves, and using space for seasonal crops. The land was previously used for seasonal crops but was neglected due to family circumstances and now needs reclamation and cultivation. The project owner is contributing her own funds and needs support for land preparation and planting.
Feed Sales and Distribution Outlet – Masyaf Rural
The project is a sales and distribution outlet for cattle and sheep feed, located on a main road in one of the villages of Masyaf rural area. The business relies on purchasing feed from supplying mills and distributing it locally to livestock breeders at a small profit margin. The owner has already secured the sales location and needs support to purchase the initial stock to start selling.
Woodworking and Handcrafted Furniture Workshop
A small carpentry project focused on producing handmade wooden pieces and custom-designed furniture, building on experience in aluminum and woodwork. The founder already owns some essential tools and has access to a family-owned workspace. He needs limited support to purchase additional equipment and refurbish the place for production. The project aims to gradually grow to meet local demand for household furniture and artistic woodwork.
