Erbil Flood Donation Project

Following the heavy rainfall on December 17th, 2021, several neighborhoods in Erbil experienced severe flooding due to drainage issues. Unfortunately, the rainstorm that hit the city on Thursday evening not only caused significant flooding but resulted in the loss of a minimum of 8 lives, as well as severe material and housing damage.

In this context, Tishk International University launched a fundraising event for victim families and those infected by the recent flash flood in Erbil. A food fundraising event was held, and students volunteered in preparing and selling all sorts of food.

In addition to this, three donation boxes were placed on campus to collect donations from the TIU staff and students who wish to participate. The donations collected from the food fundraising event, along with TIU funds, reached a total of 15, 000, 000 IQD.

TIU is deeply saddened by the loss of lives and damage caused by the flood. We would like to thank all students and staff who have contributed to this great community partnership project and wish to conduct more community projects in the near future.
