After four years of exile, the Yazidi families we serve cannot return home. There are physical barriers, such as no running and clean water and limited electricity. Most of their homes are destroyed and they can’t earn enough money for their daily lives, much less to rebuild. Moreover, there are leftover mines and booby traps. Neighbors who joined with violent groups who seek to kill and enslave them still live there. There also remain various groups in power that do not have good intentions toward the Yazidi.
GHNI continues to assist them with food, hygiene items, toys, candy, soccer balls, and the like. We are also working on hybrid Transformational Community Development (TCD) projects to help them improve their lives. Living in exile and owning nothing, it is extremely difficult to consider, much less execute, development projects. But they can do it!
