The Judy Vocational Center in Msirik, supported generously by the Danish Church Aid (DCA) and funded by the Danish people, provided vocational courses and awareness sessions in the Livelihoods sector. Judy Organization for Relief and Development spearheaded these activities.

This center offered diverse vocational courses encompassing sewing, smartphone repair, computer basics, English language, men’s hairdressing, and electrical installations. Additionally, it conducted numerous awareness sessions covering health, social, educational, and child protection topics within the Msirik area of Semel District, Dohuk Governorate.

Executed across three phases between 2022 and 2023, the project involved conducting a needs assessment survey in Semel, delivering vocational courses for men, women, youth, and girls, and organizing general and health awareness sessions.
