250 Destitute Orphans in Basrah and Najaf Received Sponsorships during the first quarter of 2010 

The number of orphans in Iraq increases every day. Disease, especially cancer, as well as terrorist attacks and roadside explosions take away fathers from their children every day. Each quarter, LFT’s representatives remove older orphans and those whose financial situation has improved and accept new orphans into the program. Almost 83 percent of the orphans sponsored in Najaf are now between one and twelve years old. The corresponding number for Basrah is 73 percent.
