About People in Need:

People in Need (PIN) is an international, non-profit organization providing humanitarian and development assistance in over 20 countries worldwide. Formed in 1992 in the Czech Republic, PIN has grown to be the biggest organization of its kind in post-communist Europe, providing relief where it is needed, and empowering civil society at home and abroad.

PIN draws on extensive past experiences and lessons learned across many emergency and post emergency contexts to design, implement and monitor quality programming; and has been active in Syria since 2012, across Food Security and Livelihoods, WASH, Education, and Capacity Building sectors, with a current annual turnover of approximately US$40m in cash and in-kind. Current and past donors include DFID, ECHO, EC, USAID-OFDA, FAO, WFP, SDC, German MFA, and the Czech MFA. PIN employs over 300 local staff and 15 ex-patriate Senior Management staff across Syria and Iraq, and implements programming through 7 offices in Syria.

In response to deteriorating humanitarian situation in Ninewah Governorate and massive displacement of people from the conflict-affected areas, PIN decided to re-establish its presence in Iraqi Kurdistan in January 2015 and opened its main office in Dohuk city from where the organization has been coordinating its activities. Over the past years, PIN has been active mostly in Talafar, Hamdaniya, Telkief and Mosul districts in Education, WASH and Shelter/NFI sectors. PIN is expanding its geographical coverage to South- Central governorates, and sectoral coverage onto Livelihoods. While PIN continues to focus on rapid humanitarian assistance, early recovery and stabilisation-oriented projects are being launched.
