WHAT'S ON

These days, we are going through difficult and anxiety-filled times. Amid all the uncertainty and insecurity, underprivileged children need safety, comfort, and support more than ever. At Yara, we believe that no child in Iran should be left alone during hard times.

With small yet meaningful contributions, we can make a real difference in a child’s life, support that might help a child sleep a little more peacefully tonight and begin tomorrow with greater hope.

The goal of this campaign is to support children who have been affected by the events of Dey (January) and the ongoing war. Given the scale and variety of hardships children have faced in recent months, this campaign aims to provide flexible support tailored to each child we are able to reach. This includes a wide range of needs; from basic necessities such as shelter and food, to medical care, education, and psychological support.

In these difficult days, we stand together so that no child in our homeland is left alone.

Left Behind from Education, Left Behind from the Future

When a child goes to school, they do more than just learn — they build a future for themselves. But when they miss out on school, they lose more than education — they lose a sense of belonging, hope, and the chance to build a better life.

The goal of this campaign is to support children who once attended public schools but can no longer do so. Children who stepped into school with dreams of learning but were forced to drop out. Being left out of education is not always a choice — sometimes, it's a harsh necessity that pushes children from classrooms into the workforce.

But there is still hope, if we take action for every child's right to education. Believing that education is a right, not a privilege, can change not only the course of these children’s lives but also break the cycle of social harm for future generations.

The funds raised in this campaign will be used to support mobile classrooms that bring education to the workplaces of child laborers. These classes keep children connected to learning until they can eventually return to formal education. Let’s not forget: every child laborer has only 3 years to re-enter the education system before losing the chance to resume formal schooling.

The Yara Foundation aims to raise the necessary funds to provide free mobile classrooms and educational support for these children through this charity campaign. This project will be carried out in collaboration with trusted charitable organizations in Iran, reaching children illegally employed in workshops across the most deprived urban and rural areas.

As Nowruz approaches, we hope you’ll stand with us in this charitable effort. Let’s join hands in kindness to fight for children’s right to education and work towards bringing them back to school — so that being left behind from school never becomes a gateway to child labor again.
