Barzani Charity Foundation
Chair’s introduction and reflections for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
As we had in previous year helped refugees at the sharia camp in province of Duhok-Iraq to rebuild
their homes after the fire which destroyed many home, and provided numerous of education and hand
skilled training at the refugee camps, but yet we still have obstacles transfer money through bank, but
yet we managed to work to build our relation with BCF-Iraq and many charitable organisations in
Europe and America, through three-way partnership we managed to bring a lot of kids from Iraq to
Germany for treatment through partnership with peace village charitable organisation in Germany and
we had continues relationship with LDS and other organisation in America, BCF hired a consultant to
provide training on monitoring evaluation, vocational education and GBV as well helping orphans kids
in Iraq.
Even though we magnet to put a roof over their heads, the IDPs and refugees are facing many other
challenges. These include funding cuts from the international community for essential day to day
needs and their earnings not reflecting the true cost of living increases. As well as the personal financial
pressures on many of our donors, we face challenges sending funds from our UK bank to the Barzani
charity foundation account in Iraq. This issue has slowed us down and is preventing us from doing
more for refugees at the current time.
Also, Barzani charity foundation have helped sizeable numbers of refugees, asylum seekers and other
vulnerable people in the UK by providing them with an educational guide teaching day to day life skills
and the way of life in the UK. There were also social events which help and strengthen the idea of
diverse society and help people settle in the UK.
Barzani charity foundation have invested enormously into strengthening its relations within the UK
and Europe as well as America. In order to collaborate with other humanitarian partners to provide
necessities and reduce hunger and poverty among the refugees based in Iraq. This helps reduce further
migration to Europe.
Despite all challenges, we are committed to work tirelessly with our partners and we remain
committed to support those who are dependent on us. We will continue to develop new services and
partnerships to meet the needs of vulnerable people and continue to positively change lives.
