Story

On June, 4th, fire broke in Sharia camp, one of 15 camps housing 16,000 Yazidi displaced persons who escaped genocide in 2014. In total, 370 plus tents were burned, 184 families, 994 individuals living in these tents, lost all their properties and belongings. These families are currently without shelter, food, and other basic necessities. We are asking you to to join our campaign to raise money to support these families and help us address this emergency situation.

This campaign is organized by a group of Yazidi NGOs and activists. All funds collected will be divided up equally among the 184 effected families. A steering committee will oversee the distributions.

About the charity

Yazda
RCN 471722806
Yazda is a global organization that strives to bring justice, sustenance, healing & rejuvenation to Yazidis & other vulnerable ethno-religious minorities. Yazda was founded in 2014 by Yazidi students and professionals in response to the genocide that began on August 3, 2014, by ISIS. Yazda is a registered nonprofit and tax-deductible in the US, Germany, Iraq, Sweden, UK and Australia. Yazda wants to bring ISIS militants to justice for its crimes against Yazidis and other minorities. This is why we have launched an international campaign to pursue legal accountability for ISIS's crimes. A team of lawyers led by the international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney is supporting Yazda in this mission. Yazda is leading a global advocacy campaign to raise awareness and bring international attention to the Genocide.   Yazda supports victims like Nadia Murad and other survivors of ISIS sexual slavery to deliver their message to the world that ISIS crimes must be investigated and to condemn extremists for their evil acts. Yazda's team is on the ground in Iraq supporting victims directly, providing urgent psychosocial, medical, educational and humanitarian support. Yazda documents regarding ISIS crimes against civilians so that there is a record that can be used in court in the future.
