52 Families and Homes
Nura Jafar, 13 years old, had to stop going to school when she finished elementary school, because of the high medical bills for her older sister Sarah, who was burned in a fire. Her father Emad makes 500,000 Iraqi dinars a month, but is the only support for the family. “We’re still happy,” he says. “If we lose that, we’ll die.”
