Foundation

"Having grown up with the effects of poverty and conflict visible all around me, I want to see young people being offered a chance to break free of that cycle. I want my country to have a bright future and equipping the youth today with the skills, capabilities, ambition and vision is the key to unlocking this."

Our Vision

To enrich the lives of families and communities by committing to the education of future generations. We do this by building and renovating schools, providing scholarships, and creating opportunities for young people to develop skills and capabilities that will help them build a brighter future for Kurdistan and Iraq.

Our Mission

To support those in need with basic necessities such as food, clothing, shelter, and clean water. To build centers of learning and community development, and as a result establish a culture of giving and sharing throughout the region.

We are dedicated to serving the needs of today whilst building a better, brighter tomorrow.
