The Towards a Green Iraq (TAGI) project, a pilot project by Bring Hope Humanitarian Foundation (BHHF) aims to increase knowledge and awareness on climate concerns and the local environment through educating teachers and students at select schools and camps on how to cultivate and care for local tree seeds, connecting students with natural elements through school ground greening initiatives and fostering healthy connections with the environment for positive health, well-being, social and educational outcomes.

In 2023, 54 girls, 58 woman teachers and 33 women residents in Harsham Camp participated in BHHF’s Towards a Green Iraq project,where they were provided with environmental knowledge and climate awareness sessions. In these sessions, they were also provided with tree seeds, soil, and training on how to plant, sow, and cultivate native trees to contribute to climate resilience.
