Rebuilding Iraq One Family At A Time
Sulimani, Iraq
Ali Khader has always tried his best to provide for his family. When their mud-brick home began to cave in on them due to water damage he knew he had only one option; to demolish their colapsing home and build a new stable home in its place. He ran out of money mid-construction. With no other place to house his family, they moved into the half complete shell of their new home. With no windows or front door and winter quickly approaching, we knew we had to act fast to help this family of five. Click here to read more and help this family finish their home.

“We’re so close to finishing our home, but we just cannot manage to raise the remaining $5,000 while paying rent for our existing apartment.” Mr. Abdullah explains why a $5,000 loan would aleviate their problems. The money would be used to buy the materials needed to complete their new home, allowing them to move and use the money that is going to rent right now to pay off their no-interest loan.
