Iraq

Since 2009 Spirit of Soccer has delivered programs reaching over 300,000 children in communities devastated by war and in camps for refugees and Internally Displaced People. In keeping with our philosophy of local ownership, we have trained over 50 local, male and female coaches as Mine Risk Education instructors from across the Arab, Sunni, Shia, Kurdish and Christian communities, working in close partnership with the Iraqi Directorate of Mine Action (DMA) and the Iraqi Kurdistan Mine Action Agency (IKMAA). Since 2016 we have been focusing on rebuilding communities previously occupied by Daesh (Islamic State) and countering the threat of violent extremism.
