The Collateral Repair Project
in affiliation with the International Humanities Center


The Amman Team
The Collateral Repair Project is only able to bring assistance to Iraqis in Jordan through the efforts of Iraqi refugees
who work hand in hand with us.  They are immersed in the refugee community and, as such, have first-hand
understanding of the particular needs of their community.  

They work long days that are filled with empathetic sorrow as they listen to the  heartbreaking stories  of these
families.  

We thank all our present and past team members and we appreciate their tireless efforts to bring relief to some of the
hundreds of thousands of Iraqis exiled in Jordan
