Expanding Humanitarian Efforts

In 2024, marking 20 years of service, the Development and Relief Foundation (DRF) committed to expanding its humanitarian reach—providing critical aid wherever the need is the greatest.

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. 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

Human Resources

As DRF grows, so does our team of educators and hospital staff. To date, DRF-Iraq employs 850 individuals. In order to keep up with the many programs and initiatives of the DRF schools and hospitals, DRF provides education and training in order for staff to continue to develop their skills.

Refugee Assistance

Development and Relief Foundation provides monthly assistance to refugees with a warm meal, ample clothing, safe shelter, and crucial financial aid. DRF has provided blankets to refugees settled in Southern Iraq, along with in-kind items, such as thermoses, heaters, and swamp coolers to refugees in camps.
