Peace and Security
We work to promote peacebuilding and prevent violent extremism in Iraq by fostering community understanding, tolerance, and social cohesion. Through educational initiatives, livelihood support, and community-based programs, we aim to address the root causes of conflict and build more resilient, inclusive societies. Our approach places a strong emphasis on supporting marginalized and vulnerable individuals and empowers those most at risk of exclusion. We aim to provide individuals and communities with the tools and opportunities they need to create lasting peace and reject violence in all its forms.
Spreading the
'PVE'
Message
By spreading the 'Preventing Violent Extremism' (PVE) message we raise awareness about the drivers and dangers of extremism, helping communities recognise and resist these ideologies.
Increasing
Education
By rehabilitating schools and increasing access to education, we're providing young people across Iraq the tools to imagine a better future, make informed choices, and resist extremist influences.
Promoting
Inclusion
When people feel seen, heard, and valued, they are less likely to turn to violence or extremist narratives. By promoting inclusion and ensuring equal opportunities for all, we strengthen social cohesion and reduce the divides that can lead to conflict.

We're working to restore shared spaces, like youth centres to rebuild trust, foster connection, and create environments where people can come together peacefully.

Climate
Action
Climate-driven challenges—like water scarcity, displacement, and loss of livelihoods—are major sources of instability in Iraq. By supporting communities to adapt to climate change, we reduce tensions over resources and help prevent conflict before it starts.
Mental Health
Support
By offering mental health support, we help individuals heal, build resilience, and reconnect with their communities—reducing the emotional vulnerabilities that can fuel violence.
Unemployment and economic insecurity can leave individuals vulnerable. By creating pathways to stable incomes and dignified work, we reduce frustration and build the foundations for long-term peace and stability.

Events
Community events create safe spaces for dialogue, celebration, and connection across different groups. By bringing people together, we break down mistrust, build understanding, and strengthen the social bonds
Empowering
Women
When women are empowered, entire communities benefit. By supporting women’s role in decision-making, we challenge inequality, strengthen families, and reduce the social tensions that can lead to violence and extremism.
