Dear friend,

Ahmed* (*real name withheld) has always felt a strong connection to
nature. He wanted to work closely with plants and animals, but he didn’t
have the resources to pursue his dream.

Then he heard about Mercy Corps’ beekeeping training from neighbors in his
Northeast Syria community. He received beehives, equipment, and support to
start beekeeping and honey production.

Ahmed’s small business helps him supplement his teaching income and
support his wife and three young children.

Ahead of Father’s Day, we’re taking a
moment to appreciate fathers of all kinds who support their families and
communities to build a brighter future for everyone.

Mercy Corps, he was in danger of bankruptcy, but he didn’t give up on
his dream. "I believe if you want something, you should keep trying
and continue until you achieve it," he says. He adds, "Mercy Corps
helped me achieve my dream."
 


After more than decade of conflict in Syria — compounded by the recent
earthquake and skyrocketing food prices due to the war in Ukraine — more
Syrians are experiencing food insecurity and limited economic
opportunities.

Mercy Corps’ Livelihoods program has reached more than 53,000 individuals
in Syria with food and other urgent aid, and helped strengthen long-term
food security through increased crop and livestock production.

With Mercy Corps’ support, Ahmed expanded his beekeeping business from
three beehives to 30 — all while pursuing his passion for nature.

Every day around the world, fathers like Ahmed are doing all they can to
overcome the impacts of conflict and climate change and create new
pathways to opportunity. In Syria and in 40+ countries worldwide, we are
working side by side with them today to ensure a better tomorrow.

Thank you for being a vital part of this important work,

The Mercy Corps team
