IWPR is establishing a fund, in honour of Sahar al-Haideri,
to support journalist participants in its training and reporting
programmes around the world.
The Sahar Journalists’ Assistance Fund, a designated
fund under the authority of IWPR’s Board of Trustees,
will be used to support local journalists in cases of exile
or disability, or to assist their families in case of death
in service.
For more information, contact Ria Burghardt, Director of Development,
at Ria@iwpr.net
