A grassroots charity in Iran’s Qom region has become a lifeline for vulnerable families during the pandemic, delivering financial aid to 20,000 households 💸—and they’re just getting started.
The People’s Relief Headquarters, led by manager Mahmoud Parchebaf, began distributing 5 million Iranian rial (~$118) per family in February 2020 as unemployment surged. Through local support networks, they’ve identified those hardest hit by lockdowns and economic disruption. 🔍
But the team isn’t stopping there—they’re now seeking approvals to launch a mask production workshop 🎯 to address shortages. \"We saw families choosing between food and safety gear,\" Parchebaf told us. \"This initiative could protect both health and livelihoods.\"
With 5,000 more families slated for aid, the charity’s blend of immediate relief and long-term solutions offers a blueprint for community resilience. 👏
