A report launched Tuesday explores how Islamic Relief has been “saving and changing lives in Tunisia” for over a decade.
Many communities in Tunisia face deep poverty and difficulties fueled by the effects of climate change, weak education and healthcare systems and a lack of clean water, said the organization.
The London-based Islamic Relief has been working in Tunisia since 2011 to provide lifesaving aid as well as delivering longer-term development programs.
“So far we have supported nearly 1.5 million people, as the new report, ‘Islamic Relief in Tunisia’ shows.
“Our priorities in Tunisia are improving water, sanitation and hygiene facilities in schools, and delivering much-needed women’s empowerment projects and orphan sponsorship. We also provide emergency relief, improve food security and livelihoods and run seasonal food distributions. Since 2011, we have completed 44 projects,” it added.
