Emergency Heating Relief for Preschools in Iran: Save 6,000 Children This Winter

Tragedy Sparks Urgent Call for Action

It is with deep sorrow that we share the devastating loss of three preschool girls in Zahadan, Sistan Baluchestan, Iran. Their lives were tragically cut short by a fire caused by malfunctioning, outdated oil heaters in their kindergarten (RoostahMahd) classroom.

This heartbreaking incident underscores the dire need for emergency heating relief for preschools in Iran, especially in the underserved regions of Sistan Baluchestan.

Urgent Need: Replace 257 Dangerous Heaters

We are urgently raising funds to replace 257 old oil-operated heaters in preschools across six districts of Sistan Baluchestan. These new units are equipped with automatic safety shutoff mechanisms, significantly reducing the risk of fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Cost per heater: $100

• Lives impacted: Over 6,000 children

• Total goal: $25,700

• Raised so far: 83% of goal met — thank you!

Winter has arrived, and Sistan Baluchestan is one of the most arid and impoverished regions in Iran. That makes this need even more urgent and the opportunity to save lives even more meaningful.

Campaign Progress and Thanks

Thanks to our compassionate donors, we are thrilled to report that we’ve already secured funds to complete the replacement of all 257 heaters in the six targeted districts. Your contributions will help prevent further tragedies and ensure warmth and safety in every classroom served.

But the work isn’t done yet.

Additional rural preschools across other districts still rely on outdated and dangerous heaters. If you’d like to continue supporting this life-saving effort, you can still make a gift.
