      Child Surgeries

      Kurdistan Save the Children offers financial support to the less fortunate low-income families by funding expensive surgeries and treatments. We help the families to identify the necessary treatment, and if the medical care is not available locally, we either try to access help or treatment abroad ourselves, or refer the families to respective abroad facilities and clinics. Either way, we help to arrange the funding necessary in cooperation with foreign governments or NGOs. Furthermore, KSC invites special foreign medical teams several times annually not only to perform surgeries that are yet to be performed in local clinics, but also to conduct training and workshops to the local doctors in Kurdistan.

      I want to thank KSC’s Ara staff at Hiwa Hospital, for organizing birthday parties each month for those children who were born in that month, by inviting musicians to play music and giving us wonderful gifts to fulfill our wishes and bring joy to us.

      Sumaya

      Two months ago I was hopeless because I had to flee my home due to the ISIS attacks on our city. Gladly I regained my hope due to KSC for providing activity centers at the refugee camps, for creating a space for us to draw, play, and enjoy our time there.

      Shireen

      I want to thank KSC’s Rainbow trip for taking us to picnics in nature to get away from Hiwa Hospital, breathe some fresh and clean air, and put a smile on our faces.
