ABOUT REZAN
Rezan Organization for Development, Born from the urgent need to aid communities affected by the ISIS conflict, Rezan Organization for Development began in 2018 as a volunteer-led initiative in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. Driven by young, passionate volunteers, Rezan initially focused on delivering critical relief to displaced individuals. As more volunteers joined, the organization expanded its reach, forging strong ties with local communities.
In 2022, Rezan officially registered as a nonprofit, marking a pivotal step toward professionalizing its efforts and securing its first formal project. Recognizing that Iraq’s evolving needs go beyond emergency assistance, Rezan broadened its scope to prioritize climate resilience, economic development, and social protection. Through partnerships with government bodies, international NGOs, universities and local communities, the organization seamlessly blends on-the-ground expertise with innovative development strategies.
Today, Rezan remains committed to creating lasting, inclusive impact. Guided by its volunteer roots and strengthened by new collaborations, Rezan strives to ensure that no one is left behind in the journey toward a more sustainable, equitable Iraq. We invite you to join us in shaping a brighter future for all.
