By confronting conflict, the ICF are building a solid future

In Baghdad, the Iraqi Children Foundation run mobile schools called the Hope Buses. These deliver tutoring, healthcare and social support to orphans, street kids and displaced children living in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. 

The need is great as the ICF explains; more than ‘800,000 children were orphaned as a result of the 2003 Iraq War’. The 2014 ISIS occupation then 'displaced more than 1.3 million children’ and '1 in 5 Iraqi children currently work to support their families or themselves’. 

Among ICF supporters are the PepsiCo Foundation, who have partnered with the ICF to support the Hope Bus projects. “The PepsiCo Foundation is a proud partner of Iraqi Children Foundation, which will provide countless benefits to Iraqi children living in extreme poverty.”
