💧“I want an #Iraq where there is enough clean water.” #ClimateChange is reshaping life across the country – drying rivers, displacing families, and deepening hunger. Yet amid these challenges, Iraq’s children are raising their voices. @IraqVision National Director Biruk K. Beyene reflects on how the country's children are participants in the solutions, shaping a more hopeful and #sustainable future. #COP30 #ClimateAction #ChildRights #ENOUGHCampaign #ClimateJustice

Around this time last year, The RRPI was launched—a joint effort by 8 NGOs, including World Vision Iraq, to bridge humanitarian aid and long-term recovery through a nexus approach. Eleanor Monbiot met RRPI leaders to strengthen partnerships.

To support farmers affected by #climatechange, @IraqVision is implementing smart agriculture. These techniques combat crop reduction, caused by soaring temperatures and less rainfall. @WVMEERO Regional Leader Eleanor Monbiot met with a farmer using climate-smart agriculture.

Mahran moves around by crawling: “If one thing could change my life... it would be a wheelchair and a toilet I can use without pain." The conflict in #Iraq stripped villages of infrastructure and clean #water. Read more @IraqVision ow.ly/jHvp50WkZBK #WASH #Disability

#ClimateCrisis is very real in #Iraq & getting worse every year. Dust storms, drought, extreme temperatures resulting in 7M children & less than 1/2 of schools without access to clear water. @WorldVision is working to bring #WASH and climate smart agriculture across the country.

In #Iraq only 11% of the labour force are #women & 65% of young women seeking work are unemployed. This robs the country of a key economic driver & the women of their financial independence. @WorldVision is committed to changing this through training and grants to businesses.
