LIFE joined a coalition of charities to deliver gift packages to orphans and other needy children in Baghdad

In commemoration of International Orphans Day, LIFE for Relief and Development joined a coalition of charities led by the local Al-Rafd Charitable Society to deliver gift packages to orphans and other needy children in Baghdad

The gift packages containing clothes, Crocs shoes, hygiene kits, and a variety of food items, were distributed to children across various neighborhoods in the city. 

The LIFE Orphan Program Coordinator in Baghdad commented that “the goal of the project was to simply bring smiles to the faces of these orphans and widows and to let them know that there are people out there who think of them.”
