From Crisis to Transformation: Standing with Iraq Through the Next Chapter

After 11 years of presence, World Vision has stood alongside Iraq through its darkest days. We began our mission during the height of the 2014 conflict, delivering emergency aid amidst chaos and displacement. Today, as peace slowly takes root and families return home, our work has transformed—shifting from crisis response to rehabilitation, safe return, and now long-term development. Yet Iraq’s future is still fragile. Climate change threatens the land, millions of children are without access to clean water, and women continue to face deep-rooted inequality. Our mission is not over. Now more than ever, Iraq needs partners committed to lasting change.
