Who we are

Rooted in Mosul. Answerable to the people we serve.

Hope Organization for Development and Improvement is a local humanitarian, non-profit organization headquartered in Mosul. We provide relief, rehabilitation, livelihood, emergency response, WASH, education, protection for women and children, and reconstruction support to communities affected by war and natural disasters.

Our vision is simple to say and hard to build: a productive society and noble souls. Our mission is to bring aid to vulnerable people deprived of basic living standards — and to do it with dignity, accountability, and local knowledge.

Protection

Safe spaces, GBV awareness sessions, and psychosocial support for women and children affected by conflict.

WASH

Water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure that makes damaged neighborhoods livable again.

Women's empowerment

Skills, income opportunities, and leadership programs that put women at the center of recovery.

Livelihood & reconstruction

Cash-for-work, small business support, and rebuilding homes so returning families can stay.

Food security & relief
