FYF Meeting with Assyrian Aid Society

Duhok, Kurdistan Region of Iraq

FYF met with the Assyrian Aid Society in Duhok to discuss an ongoing partnership and future opportunities for collaboration. FYF is currently implementing a US Government grant together with the Assyrian Aid Society, which is a civil society organization dedicated to supporting Iraq’s Christian minority community. The joint activities of Yezidi and Christian minorities can be of benefit to both religious minority groups seeking to rebuild after persecution by ISIS.
