How You Can Help This Winter

Winter poses serious risks for families already struggling with poverty and displacement. In addition to warmth and food, access to healthcare and safe shelter is essential for survival. Help the Needy’s Winter Relief Programme expands its support to ensure vulnerable communities are protected from cold-related illnesses, exposure, and unsafe living conditions.

With your support, we can protect families in Iraq from the cold and bring warmth, comfort, and hope. You can help provide warm clothing and bedding to shield families from freezing weather. This includes winter coats, scarves, gloves, hats, thermal wear, blankets, sleeping bags, boots, and warm socks to keep their feet dry and insulated.

Heating is also vital. Many families live without reliable sources of warmth, so your support can help us deliver safe and efficient heaters, along with fuel such as wood, coal, or gas for both heating and cooking.

To ensure families don’t go hungry during the harshest months, we distribute food parcels filled with nutritious, non-perishable items that can sustain them through winter.

Protecting health is a top priority when illnesses spread quickly and medical access is limited. We provide basic first-aid kits, essential medications, and operate mobile clinics that offer check-ups and treatment for common winter ailments such as respiratory infections, the flu, and cold-related conditions.

Your generosity can make winter safer and more bearable for families in need. Help us deliver warmth, wellness, and dignity—one family at a time.
