Dear Mike and list members,
I suggest the following charities,
1.
Jubileeiraq @yahoogroups.co.uk
Contact, Justin@Jubileeiraq.org
or Justinalexander@yahoo.com
www.Jubileeiraq.org
This is a fairly new and commendable charity set up by some Casi members here in the U.k. As
charity begins at home and as it is an offspring of CASI, it deserves some inheritance from its
parent charity.
2.
alamal@msn.com
Contact, noamanmuna@hotmail.com
This charity has been operating in Iraqi Kurdistan, where it has many projects, for a few years and
has now opened offices in Baghdad and further south.
3.
Mines Advisory Group,MAG, has been operating in Iraqi Kurdistan ever since the first Gulf War and
will no doubt be needed all over Iraq.

Dear list,
The CASI committee are currently investigating which Iraqi charities it would be most effective to
donate CASI's post-sanctions funds to, in accordance with the requirements of CASI's constitution.
We're drawing up a shortlist before making some recommendations.
Our (very!) basic criteria are:
- effectiveness
- flexibility in responding to changing needs
- Prior experience in Iraq
- Using local human resources and expertise
- Making efforts to act independently of political or military pressure from occupying powers
We're keen to donate directly to Iraqi charities and organisations, as a contribution to
institution-building. There was a thread on casi-discuss some weeks ago regarding this, in which
various people suggested MAIC (Medical Aid for Iraqi Children), Care Iraqu, and the Human Relief
Foundation. We could only find contact details for MAIC and HRF, and could not ascertain whether
MAIC was still working in Iraq.
Do any list members have:
- information about these charities' current activities in Iraq, and/or contact details for them
- suggestions of other Iraqi organisations which are doing important and effective humanitarian work
- suggestions about important areas which should be focussed upon, based upon list members'
knowledge of current humanitarian needs
Many thanks,
Mike Lewis
CASI Committee
