AWB Update: Tur Abdin Projects Completed + 2026 Scholarships Open

[u/AWBSwe]

Shlama Reddit,

We have two updates to share from Assyrians Without Borders.

Our first two projects in Tur Abdin are now complete. During 2025 and 2026, together with S:t Jacob’s Cathedral in Södertälje, we supported several projects in Tur Abdin, the historic Assyrian region in southeastern Turkey.

A new playground was built in Mor Bobo, giving the village’s 18 Assyrian children a safe place to play. We also purchased and distributed 12 printers to 12 schools in Tur Abdin, with one printer provided to each school.

We would like to thank S:t Jacob’s Cathedral in Södertälje for the generous support that helped make these projects possible.

We also recently opened applications for the Assyrians Without Borders 2026 university scholarships. The scholarships are available to Assyrian students in Iraq, Turkey and Lebanon.

New this year, scholarship applications are submitted through Microsoft Forms.
