Move One and SEED recently collaborated on their refugee rehabilitation centre project in Akre, Kurdistan. There are an estimated 70,000 internally displaced people in Iraq and aside from providing much needed relief to the almost 13,000 men, women and children residing in the Akre camp, SEED has established a training centre which provides life skills education to the residing men and women who are bravely trying to rebuild their lives.
Sometimes the simplest things can mean the difference between despair and dignity and Move One was able to deliver the used, wooden shipping pallets that every road freight carrier is familiar with, and which are ideal materials for the Furniture Building Program set up to provide the men of the camp with helpful, new skill sets. The finished items can then be utilised by the displaced families or sold on to gain badly needed cash for food and essential supplies.
