“We need to live”

Last year, Jihan was severely burned when she was hit by a bombing in Mosul. A month ago, she fled the city with her family and took refuge in Hasansham camp, in Iraqi Kurdistan. One of Handicap International’s teams met with Jihan and suggested she take part in a physiotherapy session to learn some daily exercises, in order to ease her condition.

“HI has helped my daughter overcome her disability!”

Ajida, aged 12, has cerebral palsy, which for a long time prevented her from standing or walking. Now, thanks to orthosis and an access ramp installed by HI, she can get to and from school on her own.
