As Sunday 12th August marked International Youth Day, the Iraq Solidarity Campaign are proud to re-affirm our commitment to the children and young people of Iraq, by supporting the efforts of the Iraqi Children Foundation.
The Iraqi Children Foundation intervene in the lives of young people, who are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. An estimated 800,000 Iraqi children, were orphaned by the end of the Iraq War.
Through their Street Lawyers, the ICF provides legal protection to children; who are picked up for begging, are victims of under-age labour or who have been targeted for trafficking, and then charged with a crime.
ICF also run the "Hope Bus" - a colourful mobile school - that provides children with tutoring in all academic subjects, as well as providing nutritious food and health care, to some of the most vulnerable children across Baghdad.
We hope that you will join the Iraq Solidarity Campaign and help us mark this and future International Youth Day events, by extending your support to the youth of Iraq. For further information please see www.iraqichildren.org or to make a donation please click here.
