Under the Bridge Project, more than 100 participants including men, women, and youth from Lebanese, Iraqi refugee, Chaldean, and Syriac communities — completed hands-on vocational trainings in:

🧺 Artisanal Basket Weaving

🧼 Soap and Candle Making

🍯 Food Production and Preservation

These trainings didn’t just teach skills; they empowered individuals to transform passion into purpose.

At the end of each training, participants received starter kits, enabling them to continue practicing at home and take their first steps toward launching small businesses or income-generating projects.
