Micro-Projects is a livelihood-support program which helps family providers who had either lost their livelihood during the war, or aspire to be a productive and financially independent part of the community by starting their own income generating business. By financing their micro-projects, Christian Hope Center is helping Christian families to have a sustainable source of income, through the provision of equipment, machinery and tools. This will eventually mitigate the economic harm caused by increasing poverty and insecurity, preserve their dignity, and alleviate the calamities of war and the economic crisis, which will ultimately preserve the existence of an active Christian community in Syria. In addition to the Micro-Projects supported in Cities of Aleppo, Homs and Damascus, the program also supports families who rely on agriculture as their principal source of income in rural Homs.

Mini-Market


Working for 28 years as a floor tiler affected Rami’s health a lot, he became unable to proceed in this profession and this decision was very hard to take as the only provider for his old parents.

In 2018, Rami opened a mini-market and started working with the help of his father, this mini market gained a great reputation and had many strong points like knowing what exactly the clients’ need, in addition to its good location in a crowded area. Unfortunately, the continuous price changes weakened Rami’s project and his mini-market had a shortage of lots of basic commodities and the sales rate dropped tremendously.
