I am Nawal, 38 years old, I hold a secondary education level, I am a
housewife. My husband name is Hussein, he was a farmer. I have seven
children, their names below:
Wasan, she is 17 years old, quitted the study.
Asma, she is 16 years old, quitted the study.
Mariam, she is 13 years old, she is at the fifth grade
Ali, he is 11 years old, he is at the fourth grade
Ahmed, he is 6 years old, at the first grade
Nour, she is 4 years old.
HIba, she is two years old.
We were living at Al-Dorrah district in Baghdad. We never suffered
from anything before the American invasion to my country .
But, after 2003, the militias controlled my area completely, and my
husband and his brother has been shot by machine guns but thankfully
they survived. Also, we received threat message telling us we have to
leave the house immediately. So , we left the house because the militias
kidnapped my niece and my uncle. Unfortunately my niece has been
tortured until she died and her family found her dead body in a trash can.
Also, my cousin also killed at the same time.
We fled to Jordan on February 2007. We rented a house at
Al-Baqa'a camp for JD50 a month (approx $70) We receive JD200
(approx $280) as a financial assistance from UNHCR. This financial
assistance is not enough for a big family like us.
Unfortunately, my husband had to go back to Iraq after two months of
entering Jordan to fetch the school documents of my kids. but, my
husband has been kidnapped and we have never heard anything about him.
Will you please, assist me in my plight by getting me a
machine for compressing diapers with the accessories to
sort the diapers according to their sizes and packing them
into a plastic bags to be re-sold?

I am Hayder I am 37 years old, graduated from the Islamic College.
My previous work was a teacher of Islamic lesson in a secondary school
at Abu Gharib district in Baghdad. I lived with my parents at their house
in Baghdad.
After 2003 war, our lives completely collapsed and everything became
upside down. At the beginning of 2006 our area was controlled by
militias who killed and they burned many houses there. At that time I
received threat messages to leave the house or I will be killed.
So I left the country to Jordan in 2006 and stayed in a small house with
some Iraqi friends.
Then after a while, I got married to Iraqi refugee woman. Her name is
Lina. She holds a secondary education level. We rented a small house
consist of one room with JD50 per month (approx $70) My wife is
pregnant now - she is in the third month of her pregnancy.
We have never get any kind of assistance except the JD50 ($70) that
we receive as a financial assistance from UNHCR.
So, we will be very lucky if CRP provided us with Laptop
and Printer as a micro-project to make money to pay for
our basic needs.
Many thanks in advance for CRP and for the American
people who will donate for us.

I am Kareem, 43years old. I hold a bachelors degree in Arabic language. My previous
work in Baghdad was ornamenting walls. My wife name is Alya'a. She is 31 years old
and holds intermediate education level. We are married since 1994 but we still have no
kids.
We were living in Baghdad and we lived at my parents house. We were glad and happy
and our life was simple and calm.
After 2003, our area was subjected to the militias control. The sectarian violence was
spread and the militias displaced the families and took over their houses. I received
threat message including bullet inside an envelope. After a few days of receiving the
threat message and hearing that one of my close friends has been killed-we decided to
flee to Jordan. We entered Jordan in Feb-2007
I made surgical operation for my leg because I fell from a high place while I am painting a
building.
CRP and American people highly appreciated
to provide me with painting tools as a micro-project.

My name is Yousef. I am 31 years old. My job was a tailor when I lived in Iraq.
My wife's name is Samira. She is 28. We have one son, 8 years old.
We were living in a rented house and we had no car, our lives were very simple.
I was working in the same area that we lived in, in a small seamstress shop. We
were very happy with our little son and planning for his future.
After the American invasion and exactly on the year of 2005 we received
threat by phone - as well as we found an envelope in front of the main door of
our house saying that we will be killed if we not leave the house. Our area was
controlled by militias so we left our house and went to another province to be
safer. We spent less than two years there then we fled to Jordan because
the militias controlled the province. We fled to Amman in 2007 and we
rented a house for JD85 ($108)
We receive JD110 ($111) financial assistance which is not enough for our
life because we have a child who needs a lot of things. Sometimes some Iraqis
assist us with food and small amount of money.
I heard from some Iraqis that there is an organization assists Iraqi refugees in
Amman with micro-projects in order to stand on their feet again and make
living.
I am very lucky if you provide me with industrial sewing
machine since I am a tailor.
Many thanks for CRP in advance and for the american
people who will donate for me.
