These children are often marginalized and face social stigma due to their circumstances. Our mission is to create a safe and nurturing environment where these children can thrive, learn, and feel valued and loved.<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"p2\"><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">We are planning to launch a project in January 2025 that will provide meals three times a week and offer educational support in subjects such as Kurdish, Arabic, and Math. In addition to academic development, we aim to enrich these children&#8217;s lives by organizing outings to experience nature, explore historical landmarks, and enjoy recreational sites within the city.<\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"p2\"><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"p1\">Although we have already been involved in smaller activities\u2014such as hosting picnics for the children, providing school supplies, and offering food support\u2014we recognize there is much more to be done. We are committed to expanding our efforts to make a lasting impact on these children&#8217;s lives.<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243;
