Earthquake Emergency Response through Light Rehabilitation of Affected Bakeries, Free Bread Distribution, and Cash for Food Assistance to the directly affected people in Afrin District ltpgtThe goal of this project is to improve food security and enhance the community resilience of people affected by the earthquake by ensuring access to bread in the affected areas during and after the earthquakes.ltbrgtAfter conducting a needs assessment in the affected areas, it was discovered that the main need of beneficiaries in the affected areas is food, however, bread is the primary source. beneficiaries face challenges in securing bread, which makes it difficult for them to fulfill their basic food needs. Consequently, BINAA has decided to provide cash for food and distribute bread in kind, besides supporting the local bakeries to ensure bread availability.ltbrgtBINAA will rehabilitate earthquake-affected bakeries for bread production, provide necessary equipment and training for bakery workers on best practices for production, establish emergency response mechanisms, and raise awareness among the targeted communities towards best practices in preparedness and response for earthquakes. The bread production process will also be monitored to ensure high quality, cost-effectiveness, and long-term sustainability.ltbrgtBINAA identified 8 bakeries in Afrin that had been severely affected by the earthquake and had a high number of customers, particularly women. ltbrgtBINAA will train staff on evacuation procedures and safety measures, equip bakeries with emergency supplies, and provide safety kits including first aid kits and fire extinguishers. The organization will also provide rehabilitation support with an average value of approximately 6,000 $ per bakery based on the results of the technical assessment. BINAA will recover 50% of the rehabilitation value by distributing free bread to the earthquake-affected families in Afrin and Jindires subdistricts, based on the conducted NA.ltbrgtThe selected bakeries will be provided with flour and the necessary funding to cover operational costs for bread preparation that will be distributed. The distribution will be carried out by the BINAA team, which consists of both male and female staff, at distribution points. However, PWDs will receive the bread in their own shelters.ltbrgtAfter coordinating with other organizations on the ground, it was observed that some organizations were planning to provide either food assistance or bread distribution to the EQ-affected families in Afrin and Jandairis, therefore, we coordinated with HIHF, SADAD, and Goal to select different reception centers and camps in Afrin and Jandairis.ltbrgtThe project aims to target 2,185 families/10,925 individuals, including 2,841 boys, 3,278 girls, 2,294 men, and 2,512 women, from the most affected people by the earthquake. Beneficiaries will be selected from a prepared list of residents in camps and reception centers, with the list being updated monthly due to the ongoing displacement movement. Families will receive $65 per month for 3 months, equivalent to $13 per person per month. In addition, each family will receive one bundle weighing 1.5 kg, providing 300 grams per person per day for 3 months on an average of 26 days per month. This will enable families to purchase food from local markets while also receiving bread in-kind due to the limited availability.ltbrgtTo ensure the protection of vulnerable populations, The protection team in BINAA will provide awareness-raising sessions on earthquake safety, psychosocial support for traumatized children, posting protection brochures, and referring cases of gender-based violence and child protection as per the referral mechanism, the free bread distribution service will cover those people.ltbrgtFrom other projects, BINAA will establish 2 mobile clinics in Afrin and Jandairis, providing health services and psychological support to address the other needs of the affected individuals. In addition, BINAA will conduct an awareness campaign on cholera prevention and distribute cholera kits.ltbrgtATCH 01: Targeted CCs  CampsltbrgtATCH 01: Targeted Bakeries ltbrgtATCH 03: CoordinationltbrgtATCH 04: Technical assessment.ltbrgtlt/pgt
