In 2013, Habeeb and his family faced displacement from Homs city due to the war, forcing them to begin a new life in Fairouza village after losing everything they had.
Setting up a shop in a rented place, he started selling toys, stationery, and handmade candles.
However, their life took a harsh turn when his wife, unfortunately, was diagnosed with cancer, causing significant financial strain due to the treatment costs.
With his wife's health improving, Habeeb shifted his focus back to rebuilding his small business, which was their only source of income. To strengthen his micro-business and secure a better income for his wife, daughter, and son, he turned to the Micro Projects Program for support, knowing that his family depended on him.
