GIVE THE GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE

GIVE THE GIFT OF KNOWLEDGE, October 2024

This report will cover what ICHOPE achieved during the 2023-2024 school academic.

Last academic year was a wonderful year for our students. Iraqi Children’s Hope was set to help these children to continue going to school. The end of the school year showed amazing results.  

• We started with 318 students attending our program in October 2023.
• At the end of the school year, 95.6% of our students were successful in passing and advanced to the next grades.
• Most of those students were in elementary schools, with some in middle school and a few in high school.
• Our students had difficulty understanding school material and struggled to complete their assignments. They struggled with different subjects, but English, math, and science posed their biggest challenges.   
• More than 19 volunteers people supported this program by working with the children and their families as well as providing logistic support.
• We had 23 teachers who provided tutoring, support, and encouragement to our students as they worked on school assignments. 
• Our staff also worked with 3 learning centers to register some of these students in tutoring programs.

During this program, we found some children had medical issues such as vision, and was hard for them to read and focus on the book they read. I C HOPE staff contact physical exam clinics to have physical checkups, blood tests, vision tests, and dental checkups for those children. 

11 Children visited the clinic, our staff saw the enjoyment in the children’s eyes when they walked into the clinic room to meet the doctor.

Amira, who is 8 years old, was smiling and happy when she finished her eye examination saying: I have never been to eyes vision center and never seen the vision screener, it is a wonderful experience I had, she added.

With your support, you enable these innocent children to live a decent life.
