Mountain landscape in Kurdistan Region of Iraq

VADIN

A local non-profit organization operating in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq

Working locally. Thinking long term.

River and village landscape

In complex contexts such as Iraq, effective response is not measured by the number of projects implemented, but by depth of understanding, respect for local realities, and the design of practical, sustainable solutions.

VADIN was established to represent this approach: calm in presence, precise in execution, and responsible in the management of resources.

We believe that investing in local action is not temporary support, but a long-term contribution to building communities capable of sustaining themselves.
