Through its representation in the United States, Barzani Charity Foundation (BCF) is organising a special programme entitled “Defenders of Humanity” at the Rayburn House Office Building, within the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C. The initiative represents an important step towards raising the Foundation’s international profile and expanding its humanitarian and social relations on the global stage.
Khunav Amin, Barzani Charity Foundation’s Representative in the United States, will oversee the programme. He stated that a large number of political figures, including members of the U.S. Congress, are expected to attend the event to gain firsthand insight into the work and activities of BCF, one of the most active humanitarian organizations working under the banner of defending humanity.
The programme is scheduled to take place on Monday, 9 November 2026, from 2:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m., under the theme “Honouring Courage, Celebrating Humanity, and Reviving Hope.” It will highlight the values of service, sacrifice, solidarity, and humanitarian assistance.
As part of the programme, tribute will be paid to the experiences and sacrifices of American soldiers and the Peshmerga forces of Kurdistan, particularly their joint efforts in the fight against ISIS, protecting civilian lives, and strengthening security. The event will also emphasize the importance of peaceful coexistence among religious and ethnic communities, respect for diversity, and the protection of religious freedom and cultural identities.
Another segment of the programme will be dedicated to recognising and honouring individuals and organizations whose generous donations and continued support have contributed to sustaining BCF’s humanitarian projects and activities, particularly those serving vulnerable families, people in need, internally displaced persons, and refugees.
Hosting such an event at an international level and at a prominent venue such as the U.S. Congress provides an important opportunity to further introduce Barzani Charity Foundation’s humanitarian mission and values, showcase its longstanding experience in humanitarian assistance, and establish stronger connections with charitable institutions, prominent figures, and supporters of humanitarian causes.
Established in 2005, Barzani Charity Foundation has been active in humanitarian service for more than two decades and obtained its license to operate in the United States in 2016. Through its international partnerships and cooperation, the Foundation continues to expand the reach of its humanitarian services and mobilize greater support for individuals and communities in need of assistance and care.
The programme will be held on 9 November 2026, under the supervision of Khunav Amin, Barzani Charity Foundation’s Representative in the United States.
