Activities in Iraq
Baghdad Educational Programme
A programme established in 2007 and still ongoing supports students from primary, secondary, intermediary schools and university. Regular reports were provided by the supervisor on the project’s progress. Over a three-year period (2007-2010) over 50 students benefited.
Baghdad and Mosul Medical Aid
ICIN provided aid to help people with medical expenses. Reports with names and condition of recipients are regularly sent to the projects committee.
Baghdad Youth Centre
Through the late Bishop Andreas Abouna (RIP) we supported the Youth Centre in Baghdad, which was under his care. This centre is important for the formation of young people, both students and young adults, who would be able to engage with the community and help the poor and disadvantaged.
Mosul Crisis Emergency Aid
During the Mosul Crisis, when large numbers fled the city and needed emergency help, funds were provided to help the refugees that have fled to the north.
Northern Iraq Poverty Relief
Financial aid has been provided for widows and their families in northern Iraq. This has been on-going for three years. Regular reports with names and signatures of aid recipients are received.
The Good Shepherd
This project aims to help disabled and/or rejected girls of various ages, girls marginalised in Iraqi society since 1998. Some of them have physical or psychiatric illnesses, while others just do not have anywhere to go to. The project provides them with a place to live, food, medical care and a sense of community.
