Our
impact.
Thirty-five years of rebuilding lives, alongside the state and through local hands, in the places others find hardest to reach.
The record
since 1991.
What 2025
looked like.
Figures from AMAR's 2025 reporting. Full breakdown in the annual report.
Three principles.
Alongside the state
AMAR works inside the state's own clinics and schools. Doctors and teachers on AMAR programmes are Ministry staff on stipends, so the service stays when a contract ends.
Through local hands
No expensive Western personnel. Twenty-four people, all local, in London, Iraq and Romania, with a Basra office that has run without interruption since 1991.
Reported from the field
Every project is reported monthly with figures and photographs, and yearly in the annual report. Corporate partners receive the same reports their contracts specify.
Iraq, Romania, Ukraine.
Since 1991.
Earlier programmes in Lebanon, Iran and Pakistan are closed.
