To mark World Book Day 2019, the AMAR Foundation published these photographs from their school in Basra, Iraq. Each image illustrates how AMAR is making positive changes to the lives of Iraqi children, through the power of education.
The AMAR Foundation's School for Orphans was built in 2016. Up to 30% of the children who attend the school, have lost both parents to war or disease. The school has modern facilities and provides a broad curriculum, so children get the best start in life.
The AMAR Foundation builds and rehabilitates educational facilities across Iraq, ensuring children have access to safe, clean classrooms. AMAR also provides additional infrastructure, so the overall experience for children is conducive to successful learning.
