Azarshahr

Since 2009 the OMID foundation has been cooperating with the Alavi Charity Institution of Azarshahr. The city of Azarshahr has provided a property in the vicinity of Tabriz. On this site a home for single old men, many of them suffering from Alzheimer, was constructed, later on a building for orphaned boys was added. Following that a three story building was built that accommodates 90 sick elderly women, they are cared for by about 15 to 20 women. After its completion, a house for girls was provided that had been living in a makeshift accommodation in the boys’ home. This building also houses the sewing school for young women; we provided the needed materials such as sewing machines, fabric and sewing supplies.

In Autumn 2012 this province was hit by a disastrous earthquake which left many dead, injured and without a home. A new building that was desperately needed for the care of infants and small children was added to the facility.

OMID foundation has supported this project with EUR 101,503.00.
