Blanket for Children Project
This figure illustrates simply the basic structure of the blanket distribution. We will refer each time to this diagram in our illustration as (A, B, C and D) as shown above.
（1）The main committee (A in the diagram)
Tokyo Foundation sent about 24500 blankets to the Iraqi people to be distributed by the most famous humanitarian and scientific foundation in the south which is Al-Imam Al-Mountadhur Foundation
Our foundation is run by Said Ali Al-Maili
The site of the temporary storage was the Japanese camp in Samawah
Our foundation formed a system to receive and deliver the blankets the system depend on not only one person but rather number of committees
We have the main central committee, which consist of 5 persons
1. Salem Gaith: merchant and chief of this committee
2. Qassim Omran Musa: representative of the Red Crescent
3. Dhumar Nasser Hussein: work and social welfare department representative
4. Muslim Kamil Muhammad: representative of Samawah city council
The main central committee established number of subcommittees in different areas of Al-Muthana province
These subcommittees are the people who will distribute directly to the people.
（2）Problem with blankets
The main committee went to the camp at regular dates to receive the bales of blankets from the Japanese SDF Camp.
The person who was responsible on the SDF side was Mr. Motojima; He was very cooperative with the main committee. The blankets withdrawal from the camp started at 6 September 2004 and finished at 14 September 2004.
On unpacking the bales it was revealed that about 25% are bed sheets and towels that could not be regarded as blankets
Also we found that 808 blankets or pieces were either missing or very old.
（3）Distribution Process
1) B route of the diagram: subcommittees

In Samawah, the quarters which were included are:
1.Alomal, 2.Aljumhori, 3.Aljudaida, 4.Alaskan, 5.Algarbi aloola,6.Algarbi Althania, 7.Alsharki, 8,Alhakam, 9.Alkhashaba, 10.Alsader, 11.Alaskari, 12.Alaskan, 13.Albani, 14.Alhussein, 15. 270 house, 16.Althacheria, 17.Aum alassafir, 18.alqushla, 19.alaubaid, 20.Nadhum, 21.Altamin, 22.alnaser, 23.Alshurta, 24.Albasateen alsharqia, 25.Alzahra, 26.Almushwak, 27.alsharak, 28.Almurkal
Areas of Rumaitha: center of Rumaitha, Alaskari quarter, garbi quarter, althwalim vilaage, alrobaii village
In Khudhur: almost all the quarters of Alkhudhure were included ( villages and quarters)
All the tribes found in Alwarka
In addition to these places, there are a number of areas in the desert
1. Alsalman 160 km south west of samawah
2. Alrehab: near the Saudi borders
One month before distributing the blankets these subcommittees are prepared.
To collect the names of the poor people and they were asked to concentrate on the poor areas.
Each poor family would receive only one blanket, to guarantee so we used an official national food ticket.
Each family in Iraq has food ticket that's donated by the government in x-regimen to give monthly share of the food for each family( food for oil program).
When these families received the blanket, the food ticked were stamped by the subcommittee so that if another member of the family came to receive another blanket, he could not do that because the food ticket was already signed by the committee. Each food ticket had a specific serial number.
So the information needed was
| Name of the person |
No. of the family members |
Food ticket number |
Location of the family |
Signature of the person who received the blanket |
|
Before the blankets reached Samawah, the subcommittees gave the list of the names to the main committee
When the blankets were received by the main committee, the bales were collected in Mr. Salim's house where he separated the blankets from the towels and the bed sheets.
Bed sheets were collected separately.
Each day subcommittees were called in by the main committee to receive the number of blankets which had already been collected and submitted by each subcommittee to the main committee.
Then members of the subcommittees were asked to sign on the number of the blankets given to them
Then the subcommittee selected a place for distribution in each area. The places in most of the areas were mosques and schools.
In order to guarantee that every person receives his/her blankets freely, there were 2 methods
1. lottery method : each blanket was given a number and these numbers were also written in papers. These papers were mixed together and the person selects randomly one paper. (see Rumaitha CD)
2. free selection method : blankets were collected in one place and the person selects a blanket. (see Samawah CD)
all those work done through B-route (see the diagram above)
2）C-Route of the diagram
The Major political parties in Almuthana province namely SCIRI (Supreme Council of Islamic Revolution of Iraq) and DAWA parties
They gave as formal request to supply some poor families at the same criteria we explained above but here , they asked us after the blankets arrived
Some governmental offices:
We supplied some governmental offices, such as police stations post offices, since they have some poor employees.
3）D-Route of the diagram
Regular schools: We have 60 schools which are opened in summer. These schools teach Qoran and computer science to local children. We gave every child a blanket, as every child represents a family according to the criteria mentioned above
Handicap schools: We have 2 schools for the handicap children: Alamal for the mentally handicap children, and Alraja: for the physically handicap children
Famous religious leaders: such as Sheikh Maad, and Sheikh Saaed: they gave as formal requests about the presence of poor family they knew them
All the lists then collected from B, C and D to be approved by the central main committee
Some time there are a number of Blankets (few) given out side this scheme like the AIDS hospital
（4）Period of public Distribution
From 7 September 2004 to 27 September 2004.
The remaining towels and the bed sheets were collected again and kept in the foundation to be given from time to time to the intelligent students as a prize to give them strong motivation since they are the future
（5）Positive aspects of the projects
We can summarize main positive aspects of this project as follows.
1. It was the first time that the humanitarian aids reached to the distant areas (see Samawah CD)
2. When we made interview with some people randomly, they stated that it was the first time we experienced honest distribution of a gift
3. Some representatives from other NGO were very satisfied and they described it as the first event in Iraq. Since the Iraqi official governmental departments are not as precise and inclusive as done by our foundation
4. Enhancement and encouragement of other donating countries to do the same projects
5. Cordial Welcoming of the poor people by this project and they asked for more in the future
6. Since many sides were included in the distribution process, see the diagram above, this gave the people involved strong motivation to work as collective cooperation ,not on selfish behavior
7. The representative of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan in Samawah came for us many times to make a planning for their projects in Samawah
8. Iraqi people in Samawah are now more aware that the Japanese people sent for them their personal belongings (blankets). This is the highest honor for them.
9. The poor people realized that there are some people in this world who are ready to take care of them
（6）Negative aspect
The diversity of the blankets in colors, sizes and age was not appealing for some people because they felt its unfair way of distribution and we treated such problems by making lottery and free selection methods.
（7）Final conclusion
The project success was more than 80% which very good result.
And we need more of such successful projects.
