This project was crucial in promoting inclusive, gender-sensitive and diversified economic growth, increasing income security and more dignified work opportunities for women, youth, and vulnerable populations.
Halima was one of the grantees of this project. She, alongside 20 other families, invested in solar power panels to provide clean energy for their farms to pump water.
“Last year, our trees were dying, and we had very little produce,” said Halima, adding, “The solar panel gave us hope. Now, our trees have access to water through clean energy and without air or noise pollution.”
Currently, Halima is teaching her 10-year-old daughter Helin how to farm, as she loves to nurture the fig trees and wishes to practice it as a hobby in the future.
“I wish to see more clean energy related projects implemented, we wish to see Sinjar solarized,” said Halima.
