Light After Darkness
Dohuk Displacement Camp
For the first time, families in this camp have reliable electricity for lighting, phone charging, and refrigerating medicine—thanks to a student-led solar project.
A New Future in Al-Qurnah
In the rural village of Al-Qurnah, women and children spent up to 4 hours daily fetching water from a contaminated canal. Diarrheal diseases were common, especially among children.
In 2024, EwB Iraq student volunteers from the University of Basrah designed and installed a solar-powered water purification system—providing 5,000 liters of safe drinking water per day.
“Now my daughters go to school instead of walking for water. They even help the younger ones wash their hands before eating.”
— Fatima, Mother of 4, Al-Qurnah
