Warm Winters for 700 Yazidi Kids in Iraq: Help Us

Who are the Yazidi people?

The children in Sinjar, Iraq, need your help urgently. The Yazidi are an ancient people whose history of persecution goes back more than 3000 years. During this time the population has dropped from 80 million to only 1 million survivors, who mostly live in Sinjar and Shekhan, cities in Northern Iraq. On August 3rd 2014, ISIS took control of the city of Sinjar and committed genocide against the people living there. Thousands of Yazidi men were executed and thousands of women and children were abducted and used as child soldiers and sexual slaves. The surviving families were forced to flee to the mountains as their homes were destroyed, and the city is still in ruin.

What is happening to them now?

In the resilient heart of Sinjar Iraq , where history whispers tales of strength, over 700 Yazidi children are facing the upcoming winter, a season that brings challenges far beyond the cold. These children, with dreams larger than life, confront not just the dropping temperatures but also the barriers to their education and well-being.
