Orphanage and Senior Citizen Assisted Living Center Erbil, Iraq. Sustainment Assessment

摘要

On 9 July 2009, SIGIR conducted an on-site assessment of the Orphanage and Senior Citizen Assisted Living Center in Erbil, Iraq. During the site visit, SIGIR was accompanied by the Erbil Resident Office Project Engineer, Kurdish Regional Government Ministry personnel, and the Orphanage and Senior Citizen Assisted Living Center facility staff. The objective of the project was to provide a modern, safe, and comfortable facility for the most vulnerable citizens of Erbil, Iraq. Valued at approximately $3.7 million, this Economic Support Fund project will result in the first-of-its-kind facility with a combined orphanage and senior center. The project showcases the government's ability to address the basic needs of the population, providing a safe home for 345 children (165 males and 180 females) and 60 senior citizens. The project will result in a living center benefiting destitute orphans and senior citizens by providing a safe and clean living environment.
