Our Projects
DRF Projects
Development and Relief Foundation’s purpose is to develop a healthy, educated, sustainable community and provide relief to women, children, and low income individuals.
Orphans & Widows
Development and Relief Foundation firmly supports the Declaration of Rights of the Child as provided by the United Nations General Assembly.
Hospital
Quality healthcare is a basic human right that prevents disease, enhances life standards, and fosters vibrant communities. This is why DRF is committed to advocating for and delivering quality healthcare services to a population of 4 million through its hospital in Iraq.
Schools
DRF is a dedicated and leading advocate for empowering marginalized communities through access to quality education. Every year, 10-20% of DRF's budget is committed to running schools and providing vital support to students, the majority of whom are orphans, ensuring they have the opportunities and resources to build a brighter future
Loans / Student Loans
Even small amounts of financial aid or loans during times of hardship can provide tremendous relief, while student loans have the power to turn dreams into reality. For the past 10 years, with the support of many dedicated partners, DRF has been a lifeline for countless families, helping bright students achieve their full potential and realize their dreams.
Food / In-Kind
Lack of food and proper nutrition remains a major global issue, especially in areas affected by armed conflict and political sanctions. Children under the age of 5 are the most vulnerable to famine and hunger. According to the latest data from UNICEF and WHO, an estimated 148 million children under 5 suffer from malnutrition worldwide, with an additional 45 million classified as 'wasted' (too thin for their height). In response, DRF distributes thousands of prepared meals and food packages each year across multiple countries and regions, bringing vital relief to those in need.
Women Empowerment
To create meaningful change in a community, it is essential to prioritize women and young girls. As the foundation of families, they play a vital role in shaping both the community and society. DRF has launched numerous projects focused on empowering women and girls, fostering their growth and leadership
Get Involved
There are several impactful ways to support others through the Development and Relief Foundation. You can donate generously or organize a fundraising event in your neighborhood or town. Virtually, you can help by spreading awareness through social media and word of mouth. On-site, you can volunteer in the medical or vocational fields, or offer your time as a teacher at DRF’s schools for orphans.
Donate
Donations are what make our foundation successful. There are several ways to donate. You can make a one-time general donation or a donation to a specific project such as orphans, schools, the hospital, or food distribution. You can also make a commitment to sponsor an orphan on a monthly basis.
Our Partners
We have forged partnerships with a number of foundations and medical organizations that have provided endless amounts of advice and resources that make our work possible. We are deeply indebted to them and their commitment to our mission.
