Rawan is eight years old. Her parents were killed several years ago when a rocket landed on their house. Now, she and her three brothers live with their poor, elderly grandmother in a remote area in a small room built of clay and metal cans. Rawan had never received toys and compassionate care but today, with your sponsorship, she has the opportunity to enjoy her childhood through the help of loving adults who provide tutoring, food, and other care.

The mission of the Sponsor Iraqi Children Foundation is to assist the families and communities of Iraq by mobilizing a life-changing “Surge of Love” for millions of children orphaned by violence in Iraq. They are committed to doing this under the leadership of the Iraqi people by serving as a catalyst to mobilize U.S. and international partners; investing in training and capacity building of Iraq’s non-governmental and community organizations; and emphasizing direct assistance for hand up, not hand out, projects.

With your help, children like Rawan can reclaim their childhood.
