Nadia's Initiative and USAID Provide School Supplies to Students in Sinjar

“Education plays an essential role in nurturing societies that believe in tolerance and peace. Therefore, we must invest in our children.” - Nadia Murad

As communities around the world strive for justice and equity, we must remember that education is the foundation of these democratic principles. The Yazidi youth of Sinjar, Iraq have been deprived of this foundation. ISIS’s destruction, the community’s subsequent displacement, and underinvestment in the region has prevented so many children from accessing education.

In partnership with USAID, Nadia’s Initiative is working to put educational tools into the hands of Sinjar’s students in the villages of Hatimia, Al Qurtaba, and Tel Qasab by providing desks, backpacks, and schools supplies.
