Human Appeal (Iraq)

Human Appeal's work in Iraq

Human Appeal has been working in Iraq since 2016. Last year, we helped over 220,000 people across seven governorates. One of our key focuses was protection – helping displaced people and returnees to get back on their feet in a safe environment. We helped women experiencing gender-based violence, and raised awareness about women’s protection through workshops and training. We assessed the safety of 1,500 homes, and installed 600 robust refugee housing units with solar panels.

We also helped 690 families to rehabilitate their homes, and promoted livelihoods by employing vulnerable people to construct greenhouses, and then gave them the tools and training to grow food in them.
