Have you ever imagined growing food from waste? We did it! We were capable of turning waste into potential material for sustainable agriculture while empowering the local rural community to mitigate and adapt to climate change effects, preserving the local natural resources, and protecting the environment despite all the challenges our country is facing.
This is my narration of the chronicle of the region where I come from, the Afrin. Afrin was a peaceful city in northern Syria that turned from a sustainable city into a war zone.

After the invasion, not only a deep humanitarian crisis arose but also an environmental one.

New beginning is a project aimed at promoting and maintaining Social youth Development. What the project mainly stands for and hopes to eventually succeed in achieving is creating a new concept of living and coexistence amongst various categories in the society. That is, the project seeks to create a concept of recycling ranging from food to include job opportunities and the re-use of surplus materials around us to create a continuous, healthy and developing society. The project is meant to target a specific geographical area as well as specific categories of individuals.

Hello, I am Salman from Iraq. I always believe that the strength of the presence of the two rivers in Iraq is from the Sumerian stretch from the far south of the marshes of Iraq towards the north of the Mesopotamian Valley. We pushed hard for everyone's right to have access to water. The right to the environment and water is one of the most prominent and most important rights that we believe in.
