You would remember Amir Hossein who had dreams of running and hearing which with the help of you dear supporter we got foot prosthetic and hearing aid for him. This family was under Nikan’s support for about two years.

Narjes’s hearing aid does not work sufficiently and the doctors have said that she needs to undergo a cochlea surgery to hear properly.

Narjes is going to start first grade this fall, and she would love to be able to hear her teachers and her friends. So far, the Nikan Charity Foundaiton has been able to raise 9 million tomans among its supporters, but an additional 20 million tomans is still required. We hope that with the support o...

This is a hereditary disease that causes fragile, blistering skin; even a little touch is extremely painful.
The expenses of drugs and the lack of a drugstore in the village has made the condition of Taha’s illness worse. The family just received a package of dressing for his wounds from the Society of Skin D...
