About Us

Dar al Zahra is a school for Iraqi orphans. It is a project of Al Anwar An Najafiya foundation, which is an NGO under the patronage of Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Bashir Al-Najafi (May Allah prolong his life)

The population of Iraq has suffered from decades of conflict, resulting in humanitarian catastrophes and a disproportionately large number of orphans.
