Support Assyrian University Students in Armenia

Welcome to Etuti’s 11th Annual Christmas Fundraiser!

This Christmas, we have THREE missions:

1. Deliver Christmas joy & gifts to 400 Children in 12 Assyrian villages across northern Iraq: Simele, Sheyoz, Mansorya, Sharafia, Garmawa, Karanjo, Dashqotan, Ein Baqreh, Perwzawa, Shekhan, Azakh, and Harmash. We only need $15 per child.

2. Support the Etuti Learning Center & Ashurbanipal Library in Bakhdida, Nineveh. After the liberation of Nineveh in 2017, Etuti Institute established a learning center in Bakhdida. Our programs include Ashurbanipal Library, children’s storytelling & learning program, tech workshops, project management courses, women in business, driving lessons for women, sports and art competitions, and more. This Christmas, we need $6,800 to cover rent, safety upgrades, and rehabilitation for our new center.

3. Provide one year of tuition for 20 Assyrian University Students in Armenia from the villages of Dvin, Arzni, Kulyasar, and Shahryar in Armenia. We need an average of $1,510 tuition per student.

In our Assyrian villages in northern Iraq we are collaborating with all of our churches and villages' youth committees. In Armenia, we are collaborating with Gabbara Assyrian Youth Organization and the Assyrian Church of the East.

Giving is a Christmas tradition. Let’s give together to spread joy among 400 children, enable a learning center in Nineveh, and empower 20 Assyrian students through education.

Taudi, Basimeh Raba, and Thank You!

Note: Any excess funds may be used to reach more children or for future projects.

Let's Build in Nahla
Join us in enabling Indigenous Assyrians to gather, build, and prosper in Nahla.

Nahla Valley is an Assyrian region located 110 km north of Erbil city. Nahla currently consists of 8 (remaining) villages inhabited by Indigenous Assyrians. It is home to approximately 180 families, totaling 700 Assyrians, with its youth (ages 15-35) making up around 30% (200) of the population.

Despite the challenges Assyrians face in the valley, from Turkish airstrikes in the mountains, land grabbing by some of their Kurdish neighbors, and strict checkpoints entering the area, our people want to stay, build, and prosper in their indigenous lands in Nahla.

The Nala Organization for Development and Relief was established in 2021 with the aim of supporting Nahla’s existence by documenting, fundraising, and implementing projects for the region as needed.

With that in mind, one of the main pastimes of Nahla residents is playing and watching soccer at Nala Stadium, which was built in 2013, in the heart of Nahla, the village of Khalilaneh. The stadium is utilized by the Nala Football Club (men’s soccer team), Nala Ashur (the women’s soccer team), as well as children’s teams… However, when the locals gather at the stadium to watch their teams practice, or when fans of Nahla teams and visiting opponent teams attend tournament and league matches, they have to stand on their feet, sit on rocks, or bring chairs from home, as there is no designated seating area, only empty land. The situation discourages some friends and family from attending, and for those that do attend, it limits the time they spend at the stadium.

Therefore, Etuti Institute in collaboration with Nala Organization for Development and Relief aim to build bleachers for Nala Stadium for our people to gather comfortably and watch their athletic youth living their dreams.

In addition to the bleachers for the Nala Stadium, we aim to build 125 meters of the main water canal in the village of Belmend and 125 meters in the village of Kashkawa. The people of Nahla are dependent on this water canal that goes through the 8 villages for their agricultural lands, and it is also used as a source of energy for their Takhin factories.

Let's come together and help our people in Nahla stay in our ancestral lands, build up their needs and dreams, and prosper. Your support goes beyond dollars – it signifies a commitment to their resilience, nurturing dreams, fostering gatherings, and creating lasting change. Donate today, and let's kick off a brighter future together for Indigenous Assyrians in the Homeland.

Taudi, Basimeh Raba, and Thank You!

Soccer Field for Bakhitme Village
Empower Bakhitme Village: Transforming Dreams on the Field

Join us in making a remarkable difference in the lives of the resilient Indigenous Assyrian community in Bakhitme.

Bakhitme is a village located 20 km southwest of Nohadra (Duhok), which is home to around 100 Assyrian families, comprising approximately 300-400 individuals. The village faces numerous challenges, including access to water, reliable electricity, and employment opportunities.

The youth of Bakhitme, in an effort to uplift their community, have formed a committee aimed at driving positive change within the village. One of their visions is to foster athleticism, recreation, and bring life back to the village through the game of football (soccer). They established a football club that nurtures the talents of their youth, children, and women. They've formed teams spanning several age groups: 8-12 years old, 13-16 years old, boys aged 17 and above, as well as a women’s team. In total, they have approximately 50 players.

However, Bakhitme’s football stadium, which was built in 2012, is currently in very bad shape. The main issue is the flooring. The turf is very rough, which quickly leads to injuries, and it is not weatherproof, which has led to many holes and rips as well as a large accumulation of dust that rises during gameplay. This discouraging environment hinders effective practice and deters other regional teams from visiting and playing at the stadium. Their ultimate goal is to have the stadium serve as a venue for sports tournaments and festivals, attracting Assyrians from across the region. These events will not only celebrate sportsmanship but will also forge lasting bonds among our community.

We at Etuti and in collaboration with the Bakhitme committee are adamant to repair the stadium. The process includes tearing out the existing flooring. Then cleaning and preparing the ground underneath. And finally, placing the new flooring, including all of its layers to resist the harsh sun and heavy rains as the stadium does not have a roof.

The playing field is 51 x 31 meters (1581 square meters), and we need $15 for every square meter of the new stadium flooring.

Let's come together and empower the passionate young individuals of Bakhitme to reach new heights. Your support goes beyond dollars – it signifies a commitment to nurturing dreams, fostering unity, and creating lasting change. Donate today, and let's kick off a brighter future together for Indigenous Assyrians in the Homeland.

Warmer Winter for Assyrians in Armenia
For 195 years, Assyrians have been living in the villages of Armenia (Arzni, Dvin, Kolyasar, Shahriyar, and Gyol Assor) having fled the Persian persecution during the Russo-Persian War. Currently, we have about 500 families living in these villages and more than half of them are in need.

Etuti Institute in collaboration with Gabbara started a Houses Renovation project for the Assyrians in need in Armenia in May 2021. We have so far helped with the renovations of 6 households and we have been receiving a very high demand of need for this project due to their poor financial situations and cold and long winter of these villages that reaches (-25 Celsius / -13 Fahrenheit) starting from mid September to April. A lot of these houses do not have windows or doors, their bathrooms and showers are very basic, they do not have proper clean water or gas system, no heaters, and damaged walls and floors.

As a start we are aiming to support at least another 10 households and we need an average of 2,500 USD per house.

We are hoping to continue this project on a regular bases until we have met the basic needs of living for all of our Assyrian families in need in Armenia.

Please note that Etuti Institute is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and your donations are tax-deductible in the USA.

Let us provide a warmer winter for Assyrians in Armenia.

Thank you for your contribution! Every single dollar counts!
