Profile

SOCO (Social Company) was founded in 2013. We were on the cusp of starting activites, when the political situation in the Kurdish-populated region disintegrated, which made it difficult to flourish in a time when the threat of ISIS overshadowed our work.This lasted for three years. We have had the good fortune to reemloystart our activities, and therefore registered the company anew in 2019.
