The Central Bank Governor visits the Iraqi House and renews his support for humanitarian initiatives.
His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, visited the Iraqi House, managed by Mr. Hisham Al-Dhahabi, a leading humanitarian institution dedicated to the care of orphans and the elderly, and providing social and developmental support to the most vulnerable groups in society.
During his visit, His Excellency was briefed on the services provided by the Iraqi House to children without guardians. The House takes them in from an early age, nurturing and caring for them, and providing them with academic and vocational training. It also secures employment opportunities for them in both the public and private sectors, contributing to their integration into society and their economic empowerment.
He noted that a number of the children from the House have successfully completed their university studies at prestigious colleges, including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and engineering, a true testament to the success of the sustainable care model adopted by the Iraqi House for Innovation.
His Excellency commended the positive results achieved by this initiative and pledged sufficient support to meet the institution's essential needs, as well as those of the elderly care home currently under construction.
The visit included a tour of the facility, during which the governor met with the elderly residents and toured its various amenities, including children's play areas, restaurants, and small businesses run by the sons of Professor Hisham Al-Dhahabi. These businesses serve as practical models of self-reliance and skills development.
During the visit, Mr. Al-Alaq affirmed his full financial and moral support for this humanitarian institution, praising the efforts made in caring for vulnerable groups and emphasizing the importance of partnerships between official institutions and community initiatives in promoting social solidarity and achieving sustainable development.
