Not one, but multiple overlapping crises are gripping the Middle East, putting millions of people to the test. Famine, conflict and forced migration have made food insecurity chronic. In Gaza, 85 percent of the population struggles to feed itself; in Iraq, 40 percent of arable land is threatened by desertification. Political instability has made the Middle East the macro-region with the highest number of displaced people in the world. For example, Lebanon is home to more than 1.5 million Syrian refugees, despite its collapsing economy; in Palestine, 1.7 million people have lost their homes. In addition to the basic rights to nutrition and housing, the right to education has also taken a back seat. In Lebanon, many schools have closed, leaving 30 percent of school-age refugees uneducated. In Iraq, by contrast, a lack of teachers and funding makes access to schooling even more difficult.

I have been in Jordan for four months now, and right away I was included in the implementation of the Bothoor* project, which focuses on facilitating the creation of decent work opportunities in the agriculture sector for Jordan's most vulnerable population and the Syrian refugee population. I immediately immersed myself in the culture and everyday life of these people. Thanks to the Bothoor project, in addition to acquiring various technical skills, I was able to visit many inland areas of Jordan and observe the reality of small farmers, learning their traditions and customs. It is very satisfying to see how the paperwork takes shape thanks to the trainings, the kit distributions, and the achievement of the set goals. It is gratifying to see the smiles on the faces of people who participate in the trainings with a lot of commitment. It is even nicer to return to find the same associations selected at the beginning and discover...
