PARTNERSHIPS AND NETWORKS

2022 was characterised by the appearance of new humanitarian crises around the world. The war in Ukraine called for immediate response and collaboration to set up emergency relief. We are able to increase our (collective) impact by working in cooperation with other organisations and initiatives. Therefore, ZOA is actively involved in numerous partnerships, alliances, and networks as outlined below. Much of our work is done in consortia, and thanks to our local presence, ZOA is well positioned to collaborate with – and strengthen the capacity of – local actors.

Feeling safe

“There is nothing more satisfying than feeling safe,” says Mohamed, a 54-year-old man from Qamishlo, Syria. His family home was completely destroyed in the war. Mohamed currently lives in a refugee camp in Bardarash, Iraq with his wife and their five married children. Their living conditions are extremely difficult in the camp with no heating to keep them warm during the cold winter months.

Most people in the camp fled drone, missile, and aerial bomb attacks in Syria. Now they have a shared fear of the cold weather in winter, excessive rain, leakage, and potential fire due to a short circuit. ZOA provides each tent with emergency aid packages that contain basic necessities and a heater including fuel.

Mohamed is grateful for the safety the camp offers. His faith in God gives him hope to endure difficult circumstances. “I hope that one day we will have a better life,” he says. “I would like to rebuild our house so that we can live there with our family.”
