We are a Child Protection charity working with Syrian and Iranian refugees, Internally Displaced Iraqi's and orphans or separated children who live in care homes. Check out our impact report by clicking here: STEP's Impact Report 2023 to see some of the ways we provided children with play, care, safety and education last year.
These lives couldn't have been changed without the partnership of our compassionate donors.
Our mission is to empower and protect the children in the Kurdish region of Iraq by providing safe spaces that care for and equip those in the most vulnerable circumstances; and working in cooperation with local government and civil society as they build and sustain a safe future for children.
Our long term goal is to work towards better child protection systems in Iraq. To do this we work directly with professionals to strengthen key services for children. We also work directly with children to empower them, to understand their rights and how to secure them.
If you have a skill and are able to teach it, why not consider visiting us in Iraq and passing your knowledge and skills on to others?
In becoming a long-term donor you are helping to meet the most basic of needs for the vulnerable children and young people we care for.
