With immense gratitude, we thank you for making our heater donation campaign in Iran a success. Because of your generosity, 257 safe and standard heaters have been delivered to preschool centers (Roosta Mahd) in six districts of Sistan & Baluchestan.
These new units replace outdated and hazardous heating systems, many of which posed serious fire and carbon monoxide risks to children.
In colder regions like Sistan & Baluchestan, safe heating is a winter survival necessity. Preschool centers often rely on aging or unsafe systems. By providing safe heating solutions for preschools, you’ve ensured that young children can learn and play in comfort and safety this winter.
Each new heater is equipped with automatic safety shutoff mechanisms, reducing the risk of fire and exposure to harmful fumes—providing peace of mind for teachers, families, and the communities we serve.
This project was part of our larger winter relief efforts for children, focusing on some of Iran’s most underserved communities. Your response showed the power of compassion and quick action.
Thanks to your support, we were able to:
Deliver and install 257 safe heaters
Replace outdated units in six rural districts
Improve safety and comfort for hundreds of children and educators
This is a shining example of how to replace unsafe heaters in rural Iranian schools through collective giving and advocacy.
MAP continues its commitment to supporting preschool centers in Sistan and Baluchestan during winter and beyond. You’ve made an incredible impact—and we hope you’ll stay involved as we expand this work to more schools in need.
