2022 Ramadan Food Drive

2022 Ramadan Food Drive

May 2, 2022

Ramadan presents a unique time for families in Iraq, who rely on humanitarian aid to properly celebrate the holy month with their loved ones. Every Ramadan season, Iraqi Children’s Hope provides food baskets to families in need. Hundreds of families were provided with food baskets in the Basra, Samawa and Baghdad cities this Ramadan.

Each basket contained basic food items such as cooking oil, rice, dates, flour, juice, and a variety of other items that would last a family for a while.

“The Ramadan food basket distribution project provided by I.C. HOPE had a great impact on the families that received the baskets”

– Ahmad Manara, an I.C. HOPE field representative in Iraq.

“These families have been in need for years, and it was refreshing to see smiles on their faces as they were receiving their food baskets. We have received many calls and messages from beneficiaries thanking I.C. HOPE for their generous work. “Adding each Friday during the month of Ramadan, we provided hundreds of food baskets to needy families.”

Eid Ramadan Clothes for children

Eid Ramadan Clothes for Children

When you’re an orphan in Iraq, the most basic necessities can be hard to come by. Even harder to have are material things that would be considered common in any family, like new clothes for your children. This is why volunteers at Iraqi Children’s Hope try to grant orphans’ simple requests – and are able to, thanks to generous partners and supporters like you.

We distributed an average of 178 clothing items by the end of Ramadan as a gift to orphans and children in need.

Attached below are images of the event.

Special Birthday Celebrations for Orphaned Children

Special Birthday Celebrations for Children

It is no secret that a child feels loved, valuable, and important to their friends and family when they are celebrated. What happens to the children who have lost their father/mother, or both? Of course, orphan children love to be celebrated too, so we at Iraqi Children’s Hope make it a priority to remind children in orphanages that they too are loved and important. Children can expect to receive clothes, shoes, sweets, and scholastic materials on their birthday along with a lot of love, care, and laughter. 

We thank our sponsors for their contribution of bringing joy to the hearts of countless children. We additionally would like to thank the I.C. Hope staff for their tremendous efforts in putting a smile on the faces of these beloved children.
