Who We Are

Regenerate Shingal

Regenerate Shingal e.V. is a nonprofit organization working with and for Ezidis to restore their homeland in Shingal, especially after the 2014 genocide committed by ISIS. We are a coalition of religious actors, scholars, activists, and civil society members dedicated to cultural flourishing, regeneration and assisting victims of religion-related violence.

We Believe:

  • Survivors of genocidal violence can heal when they receive the support they need to build resilience and regenerate their communities.

  • We all have a part to play in protecting religious, cultural, and ecological diversity.

  • We are called in solidarity with survivors to advance empathy, dignity, and equality.

Our Mission:

  • Research and design strategies to restore the natural, cultural, agricultural, social and religious landscape in Shingal

  • Ensure survivors of genocide have the support they need to heal

  • Support regenerative farming for food security and survivor livelihood

  • Develop sustainable infrastructure that allows the community to return to their homeland
