WHO WE HELP
Weaving Threads of Hope One Life at a Time
KURDS Enabling Supports
At KURDS NGO, we believe every thread in the tapestry of humanity deserves to be nurtured and protected. Our unwavering commitment extends to a diverse range of individuals and communities grappling with the challenges of displacement, poverty, and conflict. Let us weave a closer look at those whose lives we touch:
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs): Uprooted from their homes by conflict or violence, IDPs often face the harsh realities of uncertainty, insecurity, and basic needs unmet. We stand beside them, providing shelter, food, water, sanitation, and healthcare, while advocating for their safe return and sustainable reintegration into society.
Refugees: Fleeing persecution or war, refugees seek refuge in foreign lands, carrying the weight of trauma and loss. We extend a helping hand, ensuring access to vital services, legal support, livelihood opportunities, and a sense of belonging within their new communities.
Vulnerable Communities: Poverty and marginalization cast a long shadow, particularly on rural communities struggling with limited resources and access to essential services. We empower them through agricultural initiatives, skills training, water and sanitation projects, and community development programs, fostering self-sufficiency and dignity.
Women and Children: These groups often face the brunt of hardship and discrimination. We champion their rights and well-being through education programs, healthcare initiatives, microfinance projects, and gender-based violence prevention efforts, ensuring their voices are heard and their potential unlocked.
Youth: The future of any community rests on its youth. We invest in their education, vocational training, and leadership development, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to break the cycle of poverty and drive positive change.
Victims of Conflict and Violence: War leaves scars that run deep. We provide psychosocial support, trauma healing programs, and disability assistance to help individuals and communities mend the wounds of conflict and rebuild their lives with hope and resilience.
Environmental Refugees: Climate change and environmental degradation displace communities and disrupt livelihoods. We support climate-resilient initiatives, promote sustainable practices, and advocate for environmental protection, ensuring a healthier future for generations to come.
No matter their background, ethnicity, or circumstance, those facing hardship find a haven in KURDS NGO. We believe in the inherent strength and resilience of every individual, and through our diverse initiatives, we strive to empower them to weave a brighter future, not just for themselves, but for their communities and the world at large.
Join us in this tapestry of hope. Together, we can ensure that no thread is left unravelled, that no life is left unsupported, and that every individual has the chance to flourish.
We believe every individual deserves a dignified and fulfilling life, even in the face of crisis and displacement. Guided by compassion and expertise, we are committed to empowering vulnerable communities across Iraq through a broad range of initiatives.
Our story began when returning IDPs, weary and hopeful, sought solace in the newly established safe haven of northern Iraq. KURDS emerged as their beacon, guiding them home and laying the foundation for sustainable, thriving communities.
We started our work in northern Iraq, in the provinces of Duhok, Erbil, and Sulaimaniya. We opened three main offices there to help families who had been forced to leave their homes because of war.
