AMAR IS AN AWARD-WINNING CHARITY THAT WORKS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, BUILDING AND IMPROVING THE LIVES AND LIVELIHOODS OF SOME OF THE WORLD’S POOREST AND MOST DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE.
FOR THE LAST 25 YEARS WE HAVE PROVIDED PROFESSIONAL HEALTH AND EDUCATION ON A SUSTAINED AND LASTING BASIS, AND TODAY WE DELIVER TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS EACH YEAR.
SINCE JUNE 2014, AMAR TEAMS HAVE BEEN WORKING THROUGHOUT IRAQ TO HELP MORE THAN 3.4 MILLION INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS (IDPS) FORCED FROM THEIR HOMES BY THE ISLAMIC STATE (ISIL) INVASION IN THE NORTH AND WEST. WE NOW BUILD, EQUIP, AND RUN PURPOSE-BUILT HEALTH CLINICS FOR IDPS, EMPLOYING LOCAL PEOPLE AND USING LOCAL RESOURCES WHEREVER POSSIBLE.
Over 2m are displaced in #Iraq. Many families live in IDP camps in extreme #poverty. AMAR runs clinics in five camps, providing essential #healthcare. But we need your help to continue this. To find out more or donate, please visit our website. #EndPoverty #GlobalGoals #SDGs
Water buffalo are important dairy animals in the southern #Iraq marshes. But drought & pollution threaten their existence, & the livelihoods of the farmers who keep them. AMAR is building a water-purification system in the area that aims to tackle these issues. #WorldFoodDay
Wonderful to welcome our #VIP visitors from #SaltLakeCity to @UKHouseofLords . @AMARLondon has a fantastic week planned with visits to some of Britain’s most historic sites and buildings. Retweeted by AMAR International
