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.

Elias, a dedicated father with strong work ethics, has always worked hard in physically-demanding jobs to provide for his son and daughter. However, tragedies seemed to persist for Elias; after losing his house in Sheikh Maksoud during the war, along with all furniture and belongings, Elias was devastated.
Adding to his struggles, Elias also suffered a decline in his health due to working multiple tiresome jobs such as car washing and gardening, just to put food on the table. His wife also worked hard to help her husband.

Dr. Dagad Krikorian has dedicated 23 years of his life to dentistry and caring for his patients. He's not just a skilled dentist, he's a compassionate soul who looks after his mother.
In the year 2000, Dr. Dagad established his own dental clinic in the modest neighborhood of Al Midan. He has always had a sense of helpfulness and often worked free of charge for people in need. However, over time, the equipment in his clinic seemed to wear out, and he couldn’t afford to buy new ones.
With his hard-earned savings, he did what he could to keep the clinic going, like small renovations, but he couldn't afford more. His equipment had become totally unusable, old, and weary, which could cause side effects for his patients and be potentially dangerous.
Dr. Dagad applied for micro projects, and with the program support, he was able to revive his practice and continue bringing bright smiles to the face of his patients.
