In this project, two groups of “Aiding People” and selling the works of Naghmeh Afshin Jah painting students decided to build two schools in the two villages of Bahman and Karachi. These two schools were named Matin and Nikan, and the primary school children of these two villages studied there. Also, after the school was built, bags and stationery, as well as masks, were bought for them. In this project, Mr. Khodadad Zehi, a teacher in these villages, supervised the construction, and without his help, such a thing would not have been possible.
After the construction of the school in this village, 5 million Toomans were left from cementing the schoolyard, and slippers were purchased for the rural children at the suggestion of the school teacher. It should be noted that in these villages wearing slippers is more common than shoes.

Borhan is a 43-year-old man from a northern city in Iran who was diagnosed with stomach cancer last year and had previously had part of his stomach removed.Unfortunately, he has recently had a new involvement in the intestinal tract, and according to his doctor, this mass must be removed with surgery, after which he needs radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Burhan couldn't afford such a thing and asked our group for help. This campaign, accompanied by 140 people, was able to raise $ 5,000 + 20 million Tomans in a short period of time.
“Gorabak village” in “Sistan” province has 54 middle and high school students. They need a school to educate kids 12 and older. The school would be a middle school and a high school. Another charity had already built an elementary school in this village for younger children. Our campaign was to build the middle/high school. The construction cost of this school will be 324 million Toomans (around $16000). Education certification is also obtained, meaning that construction is allowed, and after construction, education is committed to providing the teacher with a desk and chair.
Najmeh is a girl who came to Toronto on a student visa. Her family was able to send her money through an exchange office by taking a loan, but unfortunately, the exchange office took her incoming money from Iran and didn’t pay her, and then closed their business. She attempted many times to reach out to the owners but they moved and removed all their contact information. With all her money taken, if Najmeh couldn’t pay for York University, she would not have graduated, of course, and would be forced to return back home. The campaign was well received.
20 students from one of the deprived villages in Kurdistan (Boukan city) couldn’t afford to buy a tablet and dropped out of school due to the presence of online classes. The teacher of this school asked us to help his student. We were able to send them $1642 (40 million Toomans). This amount allowed us to purchase 20 tablets.
The photos will be attached after the teacher buys the tablets.
Additionally, in the same campaign, we bought a laptop for $960 from the donation fund, for a graphics student who couldn’t afford it and sent it to her by a traveler.
