Persecuted Christians seeking to rebuild after the Islamic State genocide need help to build businesses, feed their families, and stay in their home communities, Father Benedict Kiely, the founder of the church charity Nasarean.
Father Kiely told Breitbart News in response to questions about his work in the region that offering Christians a lifeline to strengthen their communities via small businesses instills hope in an otherwise bleak situation.
Nasarean works by offering small business grants to people in the affected communities who want to start businesses. “The concept of ‘small is beautiful’ is at the heart of our philosophy – we can track the progress of these businesses,” he continued, “the amount is small enough not to get lost in any corruption on the ground – and we work with the Church in place to supervise.”
Father Benedict Kiely with Joe, owner of Grizzly Gym, Beirut, Lebanon, badly damaged by a bomb blast in 2021 – helped by Nasarean to support 9 employees .
