SIM AND THE COMMUNITY

SIM supports the AMAR Foundation in enhancing education and health facilities across Iraq

On the occasion of the AMAR Foundation’s 20th anniversary, SIM was one of the main sponsors at a charitable gala ceremony held at the Savoy Hotel, London on the 29th April, 2012. The prestigious event attended by many notable Middle East and UK identities raised much needed funds to support the Amar Foundation’s charitable work in Iraq.

SIM along with other corporations support AMAR’s public health and education programs, which provide over 50,000 patient consultations per month at AMAR’s fully-equipped Health Care Facilities. The funding also sustains an education program providing adult literacy classes for 2,000 previously illiterate men and women.

AMAR’s Health Education in Schools program reaches over 15,000 Iraqi children every week, providing basic information and advice, the program is tailored to give children the best chance to keep in good health and avoid preventable illnesses.
