USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives grant for $17,850 provides resources, supplies and equipment for facilitation of literacy, tailoring and hair-cutting courses. The trainers will also discuss health care and women's rights during these courses. WADI also has mobile crisis intervention teams; the grant also provides operating support to maintain two mobile women's health/ social work teams to operate in remote villages around As Sulaymaniyah (As Sulaymaniyah Governorate) Kirkuk (At Tamim Governorate), Arbil (Arbil Governorate) and Mosul. These teams provide both critical health services to over 2000 women and abuse intervention and social work assistance.
