This project provides a practical response to the needs of rural communities in Damascus countryside by promoting simple, healthy sheep fattening practices that generate stable income and meet local meat market demand. It establishes small-scale, sustainable livestock units managed by families facing difficult living conditions and unemployed youth, helping create viable work opportunities and revitalize local production. The approach relies on available knowledge, daily care, and a commitment to sound nutrition and animal health—without costly technologies. The program offers hands-on training in basic husbandry and facilitates access to local markets, ensuring that quality meat becomes both a source of income and a reliable food resource. By reconnecting people with their resources, the project fosters self-reliance and reduces dependency on aid. It offers a realistic path toward improved living conditions through achievable means. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goals, it stands as a locally adapted, replicable model for rural empowerment through agriculture and livestock.
Experience: We have a training course, though it’s preferable to have a previous experience in dealing with poultry, its diseases and management of breeding and whelping
