MCC supports a hospital and a cultural center in Iraq

MCC is helping to fund improvements to a children's cancer treatment center in southern Iraq and the development of a children's cultural center in Baghdad in partnership with several other aid organizations. The cancer treatment center is housed at Ibn-Ghazwan Pediatric and Gynecological Hospital in Basra and is receiving medical equipment, staff training and sanitation facilities. The Iraqi Children's Cultural Center is housed in Baghdad's al-Fanoos al-Sihree Theater, and its staff is receiving training in organizational management, child psychology and performing arts. MCC is contributing to both projects as a member of All Our Children, a partnership of international aid organizations in Iraq.
