January 2025: Updates From The Field

We've kicked off the year with heartfelt purpose, working on impactful projects around the globe, and we're immensely excited to share the details with you.

KENYA

We've been collaborating with Green Peak Academy, an educational institution serving over 100 students up to fifth grade. Our support helps fund the sponsorship of education for vulnerable students, ensuring they receive essential resources like school uniforms, books, and tuition — lightening the financial burden on their families.

We've also been giving critical support to Francis Makenzie, who's had to raise his daughter's twin daughters at an elderly age. Despite cultural superstitions around twins, he defied societal pressures to protect his grandchildren. We've provided them with food, clothing, and funding for the children's education.

NIGERIA

We've been helping to fund the Empower Our Girls initiative in Nigeria. This initiative was created to support young women in Northern Nigeria who have been displaced, traumatized, and stripped of opportunities due to ongoing persecution. With funding from The Blessing Projects, we've provided eight sewing machines and start-up funds to vulnerable girls, giving them the tools to build their own tailoring businesses.

KENYA (SAMBURU LAND)

We received beautiful photos from our project manager, Olivia, who leads the Samburu Isiolo Sustainable Agriculture Programme (SISAP). The images showcase the sustainable agricultural project focused on growing drought-resistant, fortified beans packed with iron and zinc. They've also been training on sustainable beekeeping.

ARMENIA

Our Armenian educational program is proud to now support over 100 children who have been displaced from Karabakh, a region deeply affected by the hardships of war.

LEBANON

The Blessing Projects team has been supporting 55 families, around 200 individuals, from three Christian villages in South Lebanon by opening a small kitchen in the safe house we provided for them. With daily ingredients supplied by our team, the families volunteered alongside us to prepare and serve meals for everyone in the shelter.

IRAQ

The Archbishop of Northern Iraq, alongside the head of the Assyrian Church in Iraq, blessed and officially inaugurated our school — a sanctuary of learning for 70 to 110 young students who were on the brink of losing their academic year due to the devastating Turkish raids and bombardments in the region.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a massive part of all the good work we've been able to accomplish.
