"Tannour Bread" Initiative

The poor families of the local and IDP communities live in very difficult conditions, and go through hardship in order to provide their daily basic needs, especially bread. Thus, the SSSD team, in cooperation with UNHCR, implemented an initiative entitled "Tannour Bread" within the Community-Led Initiatives (CLI) Programme at Beit al-Kell Center in Qamishli, Al-Hasakah.

During the initiative, residents of each of the different neighborhoods in Qamishli, that face great difficulty in obtaining bread, built a Tannour support made of the concrete bricks and mud, and installed an umbrella to protect workers from the sun in summer and rain in winter.

In conclusion, there was a very large participation of the residents in the construction of the Tannour support, as well as in making bread. The initiative saved the residents’ time spent in front of the bakeries for long hours, and contributed to the protection of women and girls from being harassed due to overcrowding at the bakeries.
