Our Work
Building a better world with your help
Through Project Jonah, we support small businesses so Christian families can remain in their homelands, build a future and thrive.
About Project Jonah
As the prophet Jonah emerged from the belly of the whale after three days, traditionally seen as an image of the Resurrection, our support of small businesses — to help Christians stay in their homelands, not migrate, and build a future — is called Project Jonah.

Nasarean is one of the very few charities doing this essential work — investing in the future for Christians and keeping the cradle of Christianity alive.
