Their means are limited. They need our help in this difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>We are glad to inform you that a group of Iranian-American diasporas has initiated a coalition called Humanitarian Relief Coalition. Through this coalition International Development Relief Foundation (IDRF) and the Iranian American Medical Association (IAMA) and Yaran-e Arg organization have partnered together to provide essential medical support to the vulnerable individuals affected by this global pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the organizations <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>IDRF\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/idrf.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/idrf.com\/<\/a>is a Canadian registered charity, headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. In past years, the Iranian community worked with IDRF to fundraise and provide essential services in response to the Bam earthquake.<\/li>\n<li>IAMA\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iama.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.iama.org\/<\/a>is a US-based registered charity that will be partnering with IDRF to purchase medical supplies with the funds raised here in Canada and sending them to Iran.<\/li>\n<li>IAMA\u2019s local branch, Yaran-e Arg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iama.org\/bam-clinic-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.iama.org\/bam-clinic-project<\/a>is a registered charity in Iran that will be providing the essential medical support to families and people in need across Iran through the supplies purchased in the US.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Partnership<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>IDRF will be the Canadian organization responsible for the overall management of the project as per their charitable mandate outlined by the Canadian Revenue Agency. Through your donations, IDRF will work closely with IAMA in the United States and, Yaran-e Arg in Iran to ensure that your donations go to those in need the most. IDRF can ensure this through ongoing project reporting and financial accountability. Once you donate at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/idrf.com\/covid19iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/idrf.com\/covid19iran\/<\/a>, you will also receive an instant Canadian tax receipt that is tax-deductible. IDRF will then, in partnership with IAMA, purchase medical supplies and ship them to Iran for distribution by Yaran-e Arg. IAMA has been given clearance from the US government to purchase medical equipment \u2013 which therefore makes this project feasible. Yaran-e Arg will not only be responsible for the distribution of the medical supplies but also reporting back to IDRF and IAMA on the impact of the support and the additional needs required in Iran.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your participation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We urge you (and your company) to participate in this humanitarian effort.
