Sakvan, The City's Tailor
As a consequence to the conflict in 2014, business owners in Ninewa have been struggling to run, improve, and expand their businesses due to a lack of access to finances, resources, and skills. In response, the Safe Return project, an Australian Aid initiative implemented by World Vision Iraq on behalf of the Australian Government, was launched in Ninewa to help boost the micro, small, and medium enterprises in the area.
Through this project, we have empowered 120 female and male business owners like Sakvan working in tailoring, confectionery, and dairy businesses in Mosul and Hamdaniyah through business and vocational training and grants.

Lost and Alone- Addressing the Crisis of Unaccompanied and Separated Children in Post-Earthquakes Northwest Syria and Southern Türkiye
This report presents the findings from a unique piece of research conducted by World Vision Syria Response in Northwest Syria (NWS) and Southern Türkiye. It is the first of its kind to specifically explore how the February 2023 earthquakes in the region have impacted unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) and who were separated from their families during the disasters. The study brings together the diverse perspectives and experiences of caregivers, community members and most importantly, Syrian UASC in some of the worst earthquakes-affected areas. The report underlines the critical role of community-based alternative care systems in caring for unaccompanied and separated children and emphasises the severe gaps in existing services for children without parental care. Finally, it calls for increased prioritisation of Syrian unaccompanied and separated children in both NWS and Southern Türkiye in the overall humanitarian response to the Syrian conflict.
