About the Campaign

We are launching the second wave of the “Roots” campaign as a continuation of our efforts to support families affected by the long years of war—many of whom have lost their livelihoods and still struggle to meet basic needs, to heat their homes, or provide for their children with dignity. This phase focuses on funding and activating small, home-based projects in areas such as handicrafts, food production, agriculture, and other sectors. Our goal is to provide a sustainable source of income for a few dozen families. We believe that investing in small, productive initiatives is the fastest and most dignified way to restore stability and hope, and through this new wave of the “Roots” campaign series we continue helping more families rebuild their future.

Perfume, Accessories and Textiles Shop – Reopening

Latakia – Jableh – New Garage Professional Services

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.
