With your support, our team in Northern Iraq has been able to continue COVID-19 relief efforts in spreading awareness, prevention, and distribute food packages.
Even with limited resources, we were able to provide short term food assistance to 41 refugee families, like the one pictured above. We are very thankful for the assistance of local partners who stepped in and helped supply food assistance to the remaining 20 families.
There is still a civil war going on in Syria, and the Kurds have been some of the hardest hit. Thousands are languishing in refugee camps. There is a shortage of fresh fruit among refugee families. Our team was able to take a couple of pick-up trucks full of fruit and made sure that all residents got some fresh fruit – especially the kids.
Due to COVID-19, many regions throughout the world are facing issues in food security. Last month, in response to COVID-19, we launched a new campaign, Harvest of Hope, to address both the short-term and long-term food security problems. The short-term food packages will help alleviate the acute suffering these families are facing. Our long-term goal is to increase and protect existing crops through training and resources like seeds and emergency food supplies. We hope to provide these families with sustainable solutions.
It would be impossible to reach these families without your help. We are grateful for supporters like yourself who continue to support this project!
