Our Mission

The mission of the Iraqi Children Foundation is to assist the families and communities of Iraq by mobilizing a life-changing “Surge of Love” for millions of children orphaned by violence in Iraq. We are committed to doing this under the leadership of the Iraqi people by:

Serving as a catalyst to mobilize US and international partners
Investing in training and capacity building of Iraq’s non-governmental and community organizations
Emphasizing direct assistance for hand up, not hand out, projects
