A single woman in her sixties, her mother and father died and she has no brother or relatives to help her. She has been living in a cave in Eefach, in the Diwania province in the South of Iraq for so many
years. The size of her living area is 2m x 2m x 1.5m. Whenever she gets up her head bangs into the ceiling.
This woman is tired of being in fear and pain in her life. She doesn’t recognise cold weather or hot weather during all these long years. She lives on very little help from her neighbours. On many occasions she couldn’t find anything to eat and is desperate for food, as all the people around are also very poor.
When the appeal was raised World Wide Welfare took action by responding to the urgent appeals from other organisation on the ground and visited her to see her condition. She was very scared; the place she was living in was far from a human habitat.
The appeal touched the hearts and minds of people supporting World Wide Welfare projects. Food and cash assistance was given to her immediately. Some cash was also allocated to build a room suitable for a human being, household appliances, blankets, clothes and a fridge was donated to her and other people managed to get her electricity.
After a few days the building of the room was completed and her condition improved dramatically.
With a little help from many people we managed to change the life of this woman for the better.
World Wide Welfare projects are making a real impact on the lives of many poor families. Raised funds help other poor people like this woman mainly with food parcels and blankets which were in high demand.
Please donate to support our development projects.

Grand distribution of goods to orphans, widows and poor families
1904 families from 11 provinces in Iraq received assistance during the months of May, June and July 2010. It was the greatest distribution ever done by World Wide Welfare to the needy families in Iraq. All thanks go to contributors and donors.
The number of widows and orphans is increasing in Iraq as a result of the deteriorating security situation. Failure of the government to provide basic services to the people makes it very difficult for poor families to survive. The number of widows is estimated at one million, the number of orphans is four million and the number of disabled is one million according to government figures. One of the projects of World Wide Welfare is to give cash assistance, distribute household goods and basic food baskets to the poor and needy families.
The number of families and provinces that benefited from the distribution:
- 200 families from Baghdad
- 42 families from Hilla (Babylon)
- 56 families from Karbala
- 87 families from Diwania (Al-Qadisiyya)
- 25 families from Samawa (Al-Muthanna)
- 56 families from Nasiriyah (DheeQar)
- 56 families from Alemara (Meesan)
- 26 families from Diyala,25 families from Wasit
- 1275 families from Najaf Province
- 56 families from Basra.
Each family received cash assistance and a basic food basket which consists of 5kg rice, 5kg sugar, 2kg tea, 2kg lentils, 2kg chickpeas, 2kg beans, one tin of tomato paste, one or two chickens according to the size of the families and 30 eggs.
Household appliances such as air coolers, refrigerators, cookers and other appliances were distributed according to the needs of the families.
- 1282 families received different new garments.
- 1904 received the food basket described above.
- 20 families received fans.
- 504 families received an air cooler.
- 117 families received refrigerators.
- 184 families received freezers.
- 143 families received a Television set.
- 34 families received cookers.
- 10 families received a water heater
- 2 families received a washer
- 1109 families received sets of cooking utensils
- 33 families received floor mats
- 10 families received small cookers
- 2 families received mattresses, pillows, carpet and floor mats
World Wide Welfare also supports education projects; 22 gifted university orphan students from different provinces were awarded a PC and 25 other gifted orphans from different schools were awarded bicycles and others toys.
One very important project adopted by World Wide Welfare is to help poor men and women with marriage expenses; 25 newly-wed couples were awarded 1,500,000 Iraqi Dinars to help with their marriage expenses.
All the transport and travel expenses were paid by the charity. Free meals were given to all the families who attend on the distribution days.
World Wide Welfare would like to thank all people who donated generously which made our mission possible. My dedication goes to the main donors to the charity who are Iraqi families living abroad and especially in the UK.
World Wide Welfare operates on zero admin cost since 1993 and helps thousands of poor and needy people in many countries through projects covering education, humanitarian relief, medical assistance, basic food basket, orphans sponsorship, widows and disabled sponsorship.
