The village of Ein El Tineh is located in Lattakia, one of the poorest provinces of Syria. The high level of male migration here, has led to women becoming self-confident as independent economic actors. Here, between 2009-2011 two non-government women's organisations implemented a project of international cooperation: AIDOS, an Italian organisation and Firdos, a Syrian organisation. Through this project, village women had been assisted in enhancing their business and other livelihood skills.
In many developing countries, women generally work more than men but they are mainly employed in the least paid and most wearisome jobs where they are exploited by bosses that are largely male. However, it has been widely acknowledged that, in the rural areas, small enterprises run by women are more efficient and more innovative than those run by men. This is because traditionally women are more motivated to re-invest profits in new income generating activities while men more often tend to "drink" up their earnings in fast consumption; or "burn" them up in competitive power fights. So, when women take more leadership in local development, we generally see greater prosperity for the whole community, with children and the elderly receiving a larger share of the benefits.
