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.
In the words of @antonioguterres “Peace, economic dynamism, social justice, tolerance ... depends on tapping into the power of youth.” AMAR thinks so too. That’s why we build & run schools in #Iraq, & provide classes for young people in IDP camps. #internationalyouthday #youthday
According to the #NHS, causes of PTSD can include: "prolonged sexual abuse, violence, being held hostage and violent personal assaults." This is why @AMARLondon established Escaping Darkness, to help survivors of the #YazidiGenocide in Iraq. Please help: bit.ly/2aMzmbf Retweeted by AMAR International
