Here’s How You Can Help Earthquake-Affected Families in Iran
WASHINGTON – In an effort to highlight some of the ways in which Americans can provide humanitarian assistance to the Iranian people, the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) has put together a list of several organizations that Iranian Americans have contributed to after the earthquake.
Relief International, an international organization started by an Iranian American, is an approved partner for emergency response efforts in Iran and stands ready to serve affected communities as the need arises. Created in response to Iran’s 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake, Relief International is one of the only international organizations authorized to address emergencies in Iran, and their teams began responding within hours to the devastating November 12th earthquake that destroyed both homes and lives on the Iran-Iraq border.
