Relief kits for families in IraqPersistent violence and civil tensions are driving people from their homes in Iraq. As families leave home they lose their source of income and the basic supplies needed for everyday life. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis have fled their homes for other areas inside Iraq in the past year. MCC is responding by sending 4,200 relief kits, 11,000 newborn kits, 22,000 school kits, and 16,000 blankets to be distributed by local humanitarian agencies working with more than 8,000 vulnerable families in Baghdad and surrounding communities. The first shipment of newborn kits and blankets is en route to Iraq. However, more relief kits are needed before the next shipment can be sent. Learn how to make relief kits.
Donate cash toward shipping costs, totaling $71,000 Cdn./ $60,000 U.S. $47 Cdn./$40 U.S. is the cost to ship 10 relief kits |
