Day of the Girl: Girls' vision for the future You can find Iman and Rahaf in the library dreaming of their future. Iman aspires to be a novelist and Rahaf wants to be a teacher. 📖 ✨ A few years ago, they didn't have these dreams. Living in displacement in northeast #Syria, they were finding little inspiration in their day-to-day. Through reading, creative activities, and psychosocial support offered by our team at the library, they are learning about their true selves and potential. Iman and Rahaf have more confidence and passion since they began coming to the Blumont-run library.

Featured on InterAction's website: Shelter is a nonnegotiable part of humanitarian assistance. Shelter is more than a roof—it provides safety, but also a sense of stability. On World Habitat Day, read more about our rental support initiative in #Colombia and how it's helping displaced families build self-reliance and hope for the future. The article highlights an impact evaluation conducted this year in coordination with USAID - Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and the Humanitarian Assistance Evidence Cycle, which assessed the effectiveness of rental support as part of Closing Gaps’ comprehensive interventions. Data shows that six months after rental support ended, two-thirds of the 101 families in the study could continue paying rent on their own and the majority no longer depended on humanitarian assistance.

This #WorldHabitatDay, we’re highlighting our efforts to support adequate housing and shelter as part of humanitarian assistance. 🔵 In #Colombia, the Acogida and Closing Gaps programs, funded by DOS/PRM and USAID/BHA respectively, provide women-headed households with six to nine months of rental support. With safe and stable housing secured, these women can focus on their families, education, and careers without worrying about rent. Hear their stories ⬇️ Closing Gaps: https://lnkd.in/ePHnMpGm Acogida: https://lnkd.in/eNYNA5RS 🔵 The SAFER program, funded by USAID/BHA, supports 49 collective centers — temporary, informal settlements in repurposed public buildings—across northeast #Syria. By providing displaced families with essential household items, daily bread distribution, and maintenance services, we are committed to fostering adequate living conditions for all.
