The Iraqi Children Foundation intervenes in the lives of orphans and street children who are vulnerable to abuse, neglect, and exploitation by criminals, traffickers and extremists. The organization was set up ten years ago by Americans who saw the need to help rebuild Iraq after so many years of conflict.
"It was a privilege to travel to Iraq this past month, to visit our programs and meet with our partners. It is so important to experience our programs first hand. During this trip, I visited our Hope Buses and Street Lawyers in Baghdad, and our Center for Girls in Mosul."
Liz McRae is the Executive Director of the Iraqi Children Foundation and in this interview, Hussein Al-alak speaks with Liz McRae about the work of the ICF, along with finding out more about their upcoming ‘In Their Shoes’ global 5K run this Saturday, on May 21st, 2022.
You can read Hussein's interview with Liz here on Iraq Solidarity News (Al-Thawra) or over on the Iraq Business News. As last year’s 'In Their Shoes' 5K saw virtual participants from all continents, if you can’t attend in person or take part virtually, please consider making a donation to the ICF.
