Irrigation Channel for Belmend Village, North Iraq

With the support of the American Assyrian National Federation (AANF) and Gishru and in coordination with the Assyrian Aid Society of America (AAS-A), the Assyrian Aid Society-Iraq constructed a 325 meter irrigation channel in the village of Belmend, Nahla region in north Iraq, serving sixty-two Assyrian families. Ashur Eskrya, President of the Assyrian Aid Society-Iraq, managed the project from its inception through its completion with irrigation water pumping into the village and farmers' crops.
