European Orphan Hand (Avrupa Yetim Eli) has provided humanitarian assistance and sustainable livelihood support to hundreds of vulnerable families in Benin, distributing food packages, cash assistance, sacrificial meat, dairy goats and sewing machines.

The aid projects were carried out in the Save region, approximately six hours from the country's capital, Porto-Novo, as part of the organization's ongoing humanitarian activities across several countries and continents.

As part of its long-term livelihood initiatives, the organization distributed sewing machines to 30 families and dairy goats to another 70 families, aiming to help beneficiaries generate sustainable income and improve their living conditions.

The sewing machines were given to individuals who had previously completed or participated in sewing training courses, enabling them to put their skills into practice, increase local production and support their household incomes.

Meanwhile, the dairy goats are expected to provide families with a sustainable source of nutrition and income through milk production and related activities.

In addition to the livelihood projects, hundreds of families received food packages, financial assistance and meat from animals sacrificed through adak (vows), aqiqah and sadaqah donations made by philanthropists.

Through its combined emergency relief and long-term assistance initiatives, European Orphan Hand aims to ease economic hardship among vulnerable communities while helping families become more financially self-reliant. (ILKHA)
