FYF Concludes First Project in Sinjar
At the end of May, Free Yezidi Foundation (FYF) and partner Sinjar Academy closed out their project, “Supporting Youth Participation in Civic Action,” with a final pitching event. Five selected participants were given the opportunity to present their ideas for community and social cohesion projects to an audience of 100 attendees from humanitarian agencies and the public and private sectors.
The final project ideas included a hair salon to provide training to women, a digital taxi service, an integrated scheduling service for government appointments, a community center for skills development, and a disposable cup factory.
At the event, FYF Country Director, Hewan Omer, provided closing remarks in which she emphasized the importance of supporting and empowering Yezidi youth by providing them with platforms to pitch and invest in their ideas to rebuild Sinjar.
