Description

The initiative targets Christian minorities and vulnerable groups in Damascus and rural Damascus, particularly children with disabilities, women, youth, and people suffering from chronic and serious illnesses. Specifically, the project has two specific objectives: - To promote the socio-economic inclusion of Christian minorities and vulnerable groups in the Damascus area and periphery by strengthening protection, capacity building and health care activities; - To foster dialogue on inclusive policies through outreach activities, interfaith discussion and rehabilitation of an historical Christian area in Damascus and periphery. To achieve these goals, the initiative includes several activities, comprising the following components with a common denominator, inclusion: (a) Social and health care, with a focus on disability inclusion: - Distribution of medicine/non-food items (NFI) and health care, through free surgeries/medical check-ups, in cooperation with the Italian Hospital in Damascus; - Rehabilitation therapies for children/children with disabilities and psychosocial activities. (b) Economic and labor inclusion, with special attention to the gender component: - Training for practitioners/operators and local authorities on building inclusive policies; - Entrepreneurial skills development program targeting young boys and girls; - Vocational training for young boys and girls in hotel hospitality, local crafts and tourism, in nexus with the historical area to be revitalized. - Supporting skills acquired by course participants in entrepreneurship and vocational training through Life Skills training. (c) Promotion of interfaith dialogue based on inclusive and peaceful communities and rediscovery of common heritage: - Infrastructure works for the rehabilitation of 2 housing units at the historic neighborhood of St. Ananias in Damascus and the establishment of a community and training center; - Awareness raising campaign on inclusion issues as an opportunity to build community dialogue; - Implementation of a final project conference. Reflecting Pope Francis' Encyclical "Fratelli tutti”, the project thus determines a route moving from emergency and protection-type interventions, passing through economic development activities, and finally bringing the different communities involved together. The theme of inclusion becomes a trigger for fostering community-level confrontation and sets the beneficiaries and all societal actors involved on a common course toward the pursuit of equity and dialogue. read more close
