Mother and five orphans live in poverty and deprivation

Staff from Basra Branch visited the widow Roaa M.M. and her family.  This family consists of six members: the mother, and her five orphans. 

They live in a simple agricultural house, which is not equipped with basic household facilities.  The house lacks a roof, doors and windows, which the family is unable to buy due to their poverty.

The father died a short time ago in a traffic accident.  Previously he worked as a guard in a factory earning a daily wage.  After his death, his family did not receive any further support or income.  Roaa was left entirely responsible to provide for her five orphans

Four of the children still attend school.  They need school supplies. The school is far from their place of residence, thus Roaa had no choice but to register the children for transport on the school bus, which costs 20.000 IQD (approx. £12) per child.

The family desperately needs the support of kindhearted, benevolent people to lift them out of their poverty.  They especially need:

- Monthly Orphan sponsorship of 25.000 IQD (approx. £15) per month/per orphan (x4)

- Donations totalling 1,000,000 IQD (approx. £600) to install a roof, windows and door to the house.

We ask people of humanity and charity to look upon the situation of this poor family, and to reach out and provide them with help.
