Iraq

After the U.S. invasion in 2003, jihadist groups targeted Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq for extermination. Hundreds of thousands fled these attacks. Those who survived the Islamic State's genocide are rebuilding their lives. But the security situation remains very fragile and the future uncertain.

CSI priorities:

Material support for persecuted religious minorities
Restoring and supporting local institutions, such as a kindergarten for Christian families returning to their homes
Strengthening religious minorities through human rights work in Iraq
Legal and medical assistance for impoverished Iraqis
Helping genocide survivors set up small businesses

Children at the Christian kindergarten in Bartella. csi

A kindergarten gives encouragement to Christians in Bartella

The kindergarten that CSI supports in Bartella, northern Iraq, is now firmly established. This is very important, notes CSI partner William Warda, not least because the presence of the kindergarten encourages Christian families to stay on in Muslim-dominated Bartella.
