Iraq
After the defeat of the Islamic State group, Iraq is facing a situation where a lot of displaced families return to their homes, sometimes destroyed. 1.5 million people still remain internally displaced. While Tdh is still one of the few international NGOs to provide emergency assistance in hard-to-reach areas, our team implements activities in camps to support the physical and mental wellbeing of vulnerable people. We also provide alternatives to detention for children in conflict with the law, improve water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure and provide education activities to promote the return to school.
