The violent forces of ISIS have been driven out from most of northern Iraq. Finally, many Christians can return to their villages and homes.

However, here at Catholic Near East Welfare Association (CNEWA), we know that when Iraq’s families return home, they often find enormous devastation. Services like health clinics have been destroyed. Personal possessions have been stolen.

Iraqi families desperately need your help as they begin rebuilding their lives.

In addition, not all Iraqi Christians have been able to go home. Many are still stranded in refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan, Lebanon and Jordan. With winter underway and the snow falling again, their lives as refugees are increasingly tough.

Through your donations and prayers, you’ll do much more than provide essential daily care. You’ll ensure these families can remain in Iraq, their home since the time of the apostle Thomas, two thousand years ago. Let’s help keep Christianity in Iraq.
