    USAID is proud to have worked with 50 talented and passionate youth on a beautification campaign in the historic Old City of Mosul, fostering trust and promoting a sense of responsibility and community belonging.
    These dedicated volunteers attended seven art sessions, mastering techniques and designing murals that respect the city's rich heritage.
    Two schools, Shamon Al-Safa and Al Khalidia, were transformed with vibrant and meaningful murals, reflecting the community's pride and responsibility towards their city.
    This initiative aims to foster trust, encourage civic engagement, and create a sense of belonging among the residents of Mosul.

    “I feel proud of my contribution to beautifying the area. I will share my experience on media pages to motivate other women to participate in the community.” – Female beautification campaign volunteer.
