Livelihoods Programme
Mosaic’s livelihoods programming creates jobs and economic opportunities for marginalised groups, helping to rebuild trust and shared interests between communities and laying foundations for long-term peace and reconciliation. Our approach centres on carefully identifying, scoping, and delivering sustainable projects that enable people to regain their livelihoods with dignity. In northern Iraq, this work is embodied in our Nineveh SEED projects - Sustainable Enterprise, Economic Development - where we support minority communities, many of whom have been displaced or are returning to homes and businesses destroyed by conflict, to rebuild small enterprises and restore economic stability.
Alongside this, we integrate vocational training into the programming at our Olive Tree refugee centres in Jordan, ensuring refugees gain practical skills that open doors to future opportunities. Across all contexts, our livelihoods initiatives are designed to empower individuals, strengthen communities, and contribute to lasting resilience.

Women's Empowerment
Mosaic places a strong emphasis on women’s empowerment within our livelihoods programming because women are often disproportionately affected by conflict, facing increased economic insecurity, social exclusion, and barriers to participation. In many fragile contexts, women shoulder the burden of caring for families while having the fewest opportunities to earn an income or rebuild after crisis. By designing projects that specifically support women - such as vocational training, small business grants, and safe spaces for skills development - we help create pathways to independence and long-term stability. Empowering women also has a powerful peacebuilding impact: when women are economically active and included in community life, they help strengthen social cohesion and reduce the drivers of conflict. Through this focus, Mosaic aims to ensure that women not only recover from the effects of conflict but play a central role in shaping peaceful, resilient communities.

Emergency Relief
The need for emergency humanitarian relief has not diminished in Iraq. There were an estimated 1.6 million IDPs in Iraq in 2019 (data from the Institute of Migration). Having endured 6 years of suffering, the IDPs now have to deal with the Coronavirus and feel forgotten by all sides.
Ibrahim, a father with 2 children told us:
Your support just came at the right moment. Barely can you find an organisation to come and help us. I really appreciate Mosaic Middle East’s support for the vulnerable families in our camp

Our vision includes providing relief to the poor, the sick and older people, relieving material needs. This prompted our response to the arrival of 13,000 weary and fearful refugees fleeing renewed conflict in Syria. About half of the refugees arriving at the Bardarash refugee camp were children and of different ethnic and religious groups, including Kurdish and Christian. The vision of radiating Christ’s love to all across sectarian divides is at the heart of Mosaic Middle East’s identity.
We continue to provide thousands of people in refugee camps with hygiene packs during the Coronavirus crisis.

Psycho-social Trauma Support
War and displacement don’t just affect people physically — they leave a lasting impact on mental health too. At Mosaic Middle East, we support children, women, and families as they process trauma and begin to rebuild their lives.
Through safe, local spaces like our Olive Tree Centres, people can talk, connect, and take part in simple activities that help reduce stress and restore a sense of normality.
Our support is led by local teams who understand the culture and the challenges people face every day. It’s about creating space to heal, feel supported, and move forward — at their own pace.

This ‘oasis of grace’ is led by the inspiring Rev'd. Canon Faez Jirjees, and serves a congregation of over three hundred. All the work of St George’s comes under the auspices of the Anglican Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf. St George’s is the cornerstone of Mosaic Middle East’s work in Iraq.

Live Appeal Emergency Response in a Time of Escalating Conflict
The escalating war in the Middle East is having devastating consequences for civilians across the region. As violence intensifies, families are being displaced, healthcare systems are under severe strain, and already vulnerable communities are facing renewed trauma.
Through our trusted network of local partners, Mosaic Middle East is responding urgently. In Gaza and the West Bank we are helping sustain emergency healthcare through Christian-run hospitals providing life-saving treatment despite severe shortages. Across the region we are also delivering humanitarian aid, including food and essential supplies for displaced families.
At the same time, the psychological impact of conflict is profound. Mosaic’s partners are expanding psychosocial trauma support for children, women and families, helping communities find hope and stability in the midst of war.
