WHO WE ARE

Yazidi Widow

Hope & Dignity is committed to helping women and children who have suffered unspeakable acts of violence, oppression, and genocide.

Hope & Dignity was founded in 2018 by Wiam Paulus. Originally from Iraq, Wiam is a Christian whose faith has led her on multiple trips to the Middle East. She has met with hundreds of women and children living in poverty and is dedicated to helping those who have been persecuted for their religious beliefs. Her faith and determination led her to the Yazidi people of Iraq, to bear witness to the living conditions and psychological trauma that they have experienced. Wiam was recently featured in SD Voyager in their Trailblazer series.

Hope & Dignity is helping the Yazidi people through our Virtual Trauma Counseling initiative and the Embrace a Widow program. With your support, we can save hundreds of lives and restore hope and dignity to a forgotten people.

Come alongside women and children who have experienced unimaginable trauma and suffering at the hands of terrorists.
