Where do the children come from?

Our Bridge e.V. registers orphaned children and children with disabilities in refugee camps and villages around Khanke in northern Iraq. Most of them fled from Shingal (Iraq) or Syria in 2014, or were released from captivity of the Islamic State. They are recorded in our database and receive ID cards with a passport photo and an identification number. According to their need for help, we enter the children in waiting lists. With the completion of a sponsorship, a new child can be included in the Our Bridge programme.

What is my job as a sponsor?

A sponsorship registration automatically assigns you a sponsored child. For this child, you will pay the monthly cost of 30 euros and give it a future in the Our Bridge education programme, where it is protected and looked after.

You will receive all the information about your child by logging in here. You can also contact your sponsored child through a WhatsApp number.
