Each action is for 40-50 children, boys and girls of different backgrounds. Some are displaced kids from the southern part of the country or Syria or Iran.

NTHK provides sets of clothes and shoes, and daily necessities, sometimes some toys or a little sum of money for their guardians to spend on individual necessities. Each action costs $2,000. NTHK knows suppliers that provide the items at a reduced cost. The work is done with volunteers.

The handover of the gifts is combined with a little party for the children, so they enjoy themselves but also get to know the volunteers that are involved. This interaction should convey to the children a sense of safety and reassurance that there are others outside the orphanage that care about them.

NTHK wants to do this action once a quarter and during important holidays. We also want to expand beyond Erbil when there are more funds.

The prison houses around 150 mothers and their children. They often have no outside support, sometimes they are foreigners like Asian domestic helpers.

NTHK provided clothes, shoes and other essentials. These actions are organized in coordination with the director of the prison Mr. Tayeb Abdul-Aziz Ahmed who highly appreciates NTHK and its Dutch donors for this humanitarian gesture for this invisible, forgotten, very vulnerable group.

NTHK intends to repeat this action regularly but also extend its aid to support the upbringing, schooling of the kids and the rehabilitation of their mothers for when their time is done. For that extension we are coordinating with Restoring Hope, mrs. Ramzia Zana.

Each handout costs around $4,500. Here too, NTHK works with suppliers that provide goods at minimal cost. Please support us to continue doing this work.

Like with other target groups NTHK is fairly good at providing clothes and shoes and other life necessities. We do that for groups of 35-50 children. Sometimes we assist children and their parents to travel to the hospital for blood transfusions. The hospitals are sometimes short of critical medications and we use our international network to identify suppliers. The same network helps in finding options for treatment abroad. In the last action we act more as an information broker rather than financier.

We do this work upon demand from the Ministry of Health and the directors of the relevant hospitals. There is always need for more. Particularly sending of children (and a parent) abroad for treatment has been hampered by COVID-19. A donation of $2.000 would go a long way to provide a week’s provision of daily necessities. The other actions are more difficult to budget. Any contribution, small or large, or network is welcome.

NTHK provides clothes, shoes and other items for around 100 women, young and old, from different backgrounds. Each time it is a cost of around $1,500. The more funds we receive, the more women can benefit. The donations are organized by Mr. Azad and some of our female volunteers, at no transaction cost. Ms. Srwah, Head of the Erbil Shelter Centre, thanks NTHK for its assistance. Please donate for NTHK to continue this and other charitable work to better protect women’s rights in our society. We hope that you understand that we cannot illustrate this work with photos due to the confidential nature of this action. More information can be provided upon donor’s request.
