ABOUT INARA:

International Network for Aid, Relief and Assistance (INARA) is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) humanitarian organization founded in 2015 by Arwa Damon. Established in response to critical gaps in the humanitarian system, INARA works to support children affected by conflict, displacement, and natural and human-induced disasters who are often unable to access sustained medical and psychosocial care.

INARA delivers integrated, child-centered programming that combines life-saving interventions with long-term recovery support. The organization focuses on children facing complex and overlapping vulnerabilities, including injury, trauma, disability, and exclusion from essential services. Through a multidisciplinary approach, INARA provides access to medical treatment, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), and coordinated case management, ensuring continuity of care beyond the immediate emergency phase.

INARA delivers integrated, child-centered programming across multiple sectors to support children affected by crisis. Its interventions include comprehensive medical and rehabilitative care, providing specialized treatment and long-term follow-up; mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), offering trauma-informed and community-based services; and livelihood and economic empowerment initiatives that strengthen household stability. INARA also supports education in emergencies by creating safe and inclusive learning environments, implements water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions to improve health conditions, and maintains a rapid emergency response capacity to deliver immediate medical, psychosocial, food, and non-food assistance during acute crises.
