The Iraq Solidarity Campaign is proud to support the efforts of the Nineveh Reconstruction Committee, which is currently rebuilding the homes of those displaced and Church buildings - that were damaged or destroyed during the ISIS occupation.
When ISIS invaded, Iraqi Christians were given three choices: leave, convert or die! The homes of Iraqi Christians were daubed with "Noun", to mark them out as Nazarene and those suspected of hiding Iraqi Christians, had their water supplies cut off.
In response to this, we started working with the Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need, where in Manchester we helped organise ONE NIGHT FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM in 2015, along with the Jesuit community at the Holy Name Church.
We also helped to organise a second ONE NIGHT event in 2016, at the Holy Name Church in Manchester's city centre, where the proceeds raised from both events, went directly to helping Iraqi families, who had been displaced by ISIS.
In cooperation with the Church in Iraq, ACN established the NRC in March 2017, "To enable Iraqi Christians who wish to return home to villages in the Nineveh Plains, where they have lived for centuries, and to do so in dignity, safety, as well as security."
If you live in the UK and would like to get involved, please do not hesitate to get in-touch with the Iraq Solidarity Campaign. If you would like further information on the efforts being made to support Iraqi Christians, please check out: https://www.nrciraq.org/
