Flood Relief in Sistan-Balouchestan
We urgently need your help to provide flood relief in the Sistan-Balouchestan province. The province has been hit by a deadly flood that started on the 10th January 2020 in the South-East of the country, affecting three provinces including Sistan-Balouchestan, Kerman and Hormozgan. Among those, Sistan-Balouchestan is in the worst condition, where precipitation increased by 2,600% compared to last year. As of yet, 500 villages and 14 towns have been affected in Sistan-Balouchestan where floods have claimed at least three lives, demolished approximately 20,000 homes, schools, medical centres & businesses, and sadly killed thousands of animals- costing the province more than than £200-Million.
We are in discussion with the local people and the ministry of the affected areas, to discuss what can be done. With small donations, we can help farmers who have lost crops and live stock, purchase new stocks. If sufficient donations are raised, we can help with reconstruction of homes, jointly with another specialised NGO.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD)
DMD is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness that leads to physical and movement disability. DMD patients have normal intelligence, but nonetheless are unable attend school alongside other children due to inadequate facilities that they need to get to school (e.g. transportation) and in the schools themselves (e.g. disability access). As a result, children cannot access education facilities and in some cases are forced to leave school.
Our Duchenne Campaign welcomes all financial and practical assistance to improve the conditions for children with DMD. Your donations can contribute to wheelchairs, toilet facilities, lifting equipment, expensive respiratory equipment, among other specialised equipment to improve the lives of children with DMD.

Nowruz Gifts for Children in Care
There are many children that cannot afford to purchase clothes, food, shoes, bags, toys, books or stationery. With your support, we would like to give each child in care a present on the first day of the Persian New Year in 2020. Please help us make the day memorable for these children on Nowruz.

Children's Library Project in Torkaman Sahra
We are raising funds to build a small library for the children in the flood-affected area of Torkaman Sahra, next to the playground that we have recently built and equipped.
The cost of the library project is estimated at around £3,000. This would provide a focal point for the local community in the small town of Agh Ghala.

Supporting Deprived Children and Families
We have rigorous checks in place in order to make sure donations reach children or families most in need. As these needs can vary, we set up a plan best suited to the child or family in need. Funds to support children or families are raised through monthly-sponsorships or one-off donations.
Most often, donations are spent to support children's education. We make sure that the child being sponsored is doing well in their studies and can truly benefit from the sponsorship programme.
Our child sponsorship programmes aim to support children directly, however we also educate families so that they can further support and encourage their children to make the most out of this opportunity. Additionally, donating towards a family would provide food for the family on a monthly basis.
