WATER FOR THE SHEEP: BUILDING RESILIENCE AND RESTORING HOPE IN COMMUNITIES

Ahmad, a 48-year-old married man and father of six from northern Syria, lived a life deeply rooted in agriculture and livestock keeping. However, the tranquility of his hometown was shattered when the security situation escalated due to the crisis, forcing Ahmad and his family to flee to another governorate. They returned when calm was restored, only to find their home looted. Action Against Hunger, funded by the European Union, provided Ahmad and 49 other livestock keepers with rainwater harvesting units. Each unit consisted of three 2,000-litre water tanks per household, collecting rainwater to provide clean water for their livestock.
