February 2025: Updates From The Field

February has been a month of incredible productivity, and we’re thrilled to share our accomplishments with you.

So without further ado, here’s a look at what we’ve been up to this past month—

KENYA

Our team visited three schools in Kenya’s Central region — Mucibao, Karoroha, and Witeithya comprehensive schools.

While they were there, our team quickly identified the challenges the communities in these areas face. Harsh weather conditions, including hail and snowfall, make farming difficult and costly, while many students come from single-parent households or are orphaned.

During our team's visit, they identified 17 households and 48 students struggling with basic needs. Many children were unable to attend school due to financial hardships, while families faced food insecurity, inadequate shelter, and limited healthcare access. Without stability, education often took a backseat, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.

To provide immediate and sustainable support, we:

Subsidized housing costs while working toward permanent solutions.
Provided food supplies and seeds for building self-sufficiency.
Helped families rent small plots of land for farming.
Covered school fees, uniforms, and books for students.
Sponsored a school feeding program for one term.

We are committed to ongoing monthly follow-ups to ensure progress and long-term impact. These visits reinforced the urgent need for collective action — when we work together, we can break cycles of poverty and build a future where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

NIGERIA

In the Daffo district of Bokkos County, Plateau State, The Blessing Projects empowered 100 young girls and children of widowed mothers from 10 vulnerable communities through hands-on training in poultry farming.

This initiative is more than just skill-building — it’s about creating lasting opportunities for self-sufficiency and resilience.

In these often-overlooked villages, women face immense challenges — violence, neglect, and the daily struggle to provide for their families. Many have been widowed at a young age, while their daughters grow up with little support or security.

By equipping them with practical skills, we’re not just offering aid — we’re fostering independence and long-term stability.

SAMBURU LAND / KENYA

We received more stunning photos from our project manager, Olivia, in Kenya.

These images offer a glimpse into life on the farm — showcasing the thriving fodder area, bean crops bordered by sunflowers, and the women enjoying their time together.

ARMENIA

We’ve begun planning and constructing a multifunctional building that will serve as both a production facility and a center for education and community events.

This space will feature a vegetable canning facility, a fruit and vegetable drying area, and a dedicated training room for professional development programs, specialized courses, and educational events. It will also include an event space for conferences, exhibitions, masterclasses, cultural gatherings, and more.

More than just a building, this initiative is a place of growth, learning, and resilience for the displaced Christians of Karabakh. Here, they’ll have the opportunity to develop skills for self-sufficiency, access nutrient-dense food, and rebuild their sense of community after unimaginable upheaval.

For now, we only have this photo of the land, but stay tuned — we can’t wait to share updates on the progress of this vital project.

LEBANON

Our medical program in Lebanon continues to thrive, providing essential care to 170 displaced elderly individuals. ⁠Through medical support, medication, and compassionate care, we remain committed to safeguarding their health and dignity in uncertain times.⁠

SYRIA

We’ve launched a program to protect and support over 2,000 Christians who have fled the war in Aleppo and Hama, seeking refuge in Tal Tamer and Alkhabur.

For the next two months, we’ll be on the ground every day, providing critical support to both the Christian and Yazidi communities.

We've launched a new project in East Syria, setting up a sewing factory for displaced Christian and Yazidi widows in the Ras Al Ain camp.  

Stay tuned for more updates as this initiative takes shape!
