SOME OF OUR KEY RESULTS

WHAT WE DO IN IRAQ

Health care 
Cordaid provides primary health care, psychosocial support, gender-based violence prevention, and disability services for internally displaced people, returnees, and host communities in multiple governorates. 

Humanitarian assistance
We support internally displaced people by providing food, emergency kits to cover first needs, non-food items, protection, hygiene kits and clean drinking water. We also rehabilitate broken or destroyed water units.

Inclusive peace
Cordaid works with young people from Mosul and Kirkuk to achieve more peace, security and stability in their regions.

Sustainable livelihoods
