We Build Micro-Villages
In partnership with the refugees in our care, we develop micro-villages that meet their physical needs first. By keeping our villages small—in the range of 20 homes and 100-150 people—we maintain the familiar village social structure with which most refugees are familiar. This greatly minimizes the difficulties of transition and gives them the strong sense of community during displacement—which is often lost in larger refugee camps.

Community Center
Building a house is one thing, but providing a place of refuge is quite another. Our 8,000 square foot multipurpose facility, complete with a soccer field, provides both informal and formal educational programs for refugees and locals in Soran. We offer youth activities, adult vocational training, and English and Arabic classes.

Nuroj School
When refugees move in to their homes, the first question the families ask us is, "How can we get education for our children?" These families are desperate to provide for their children's futures, and we could not be more happy to help them through our Love Does school.

Trauma Counseling
We are implementing a groundbreaking trauma care program that offers psycho-social support to families living in our micro-villages. All of the families in our micro-villages have experienced life-transforming growth in the midst of their tragic circumstances.

Clinic
In partnership with Love Does we are now building a clinic that will service the needs of Syrian refugees, Yazidis, Arabs, and other Kurdish displaced people in our region. It will be the first clinic of its kind, servicing the needs of as many as 5,000 people.
