For families who have survived genocide, persecution, disaster, and displacement, rebuilding takes more than emergency aid. It requires a path back to stability.
Across the Middle East and beyond, persecuted religious minorities are trying to rebuild lives that violence and marginalization tried to destroy. Many have lost homes, businesses, income, and access to the opportunities they need to provide for their families.
Some are returning to communities still scarred by conflict. Others are recovering after natural disasters or trauma. And too often, the very people most in need of support are denied aid, jobs, and economic opportunity because of their faith.
But they are not giving up.
Through Shai Fund’s Livelihood Project, displaced and returning families receive practical support to rebuild their lives with dignity, purpose, and long-term stability. This project helps persecuted religious minorities relaunch small businesses, learn trades, earn income, and create jobs that strengthen entire communities.
This moves beyond relief into restoration. It is a pathway to independence, resilience, and hope.
Since the beginning of the Livelihood Project through 2025, 2,655 jobs have been created through small business loans. Your gift today helps continue that progress.
When you give, you help persecuted families:
And the impact does not stop with one household.
When one family rebuilds a livelihood, a community begins to come back to life.
It takes $6,000 to help one family set up a local business. Even just a $50 gift can help provide the tools, training, and opportunity they need to resist marginalization and build a lasting future.
