Why AMAR Is Needed
By any measure, the people of Iraq have endured more than most over recent decades. War and civil unrest have fractured the country, and only in the past few years has its long-suffering population begun to glimpse light at the end of a very dark tunnel. This deeply difficult situation has left the government facing the vast task of rebuilding the nation and caring for its citizens. Iraq is rich in natural resources and will one day be a great nation again, but for now it still needs a helping hand. That is where AMAR comes in. We help meet immediate needs through health and education projects, and we work for the future through education on human rights and gender-based violence.
