Grace Initiative began a program in January 2020 for the Empowerment of Vulnerable Women in Basra, Iraq

The program, called the Women’s Training Center, Grace Initiative will begin training of women in agriculture, dairy and animal husbandry. The products the women will develop include medicinal plants, yoghurt, cheese, and honey. The women are vulnerable widowed due to the war with Da’esh or ISIS or economically impoverished. We hope to provide capacity and confidence to find employment or to start a small enterprise. These programs will help to ensure their sustenance and to provide sustainable incomes.
