What We do
Yaran allocate the budget in different projects in following categories:
Gandom (گندم)
The name “Gandom,” meaning wheat in Persian, symbolizes abundance and reflects its cultural significance. The Gandom project was the first initiative undertaken by Ya ran upon its establishment. Managed by Ali Mirjalil and Ahmad Azad, this project was designed to provide essential food items, such as pasta, chicken, meat, oil, and rice, to families in need. The project primarily focused on distributing food during major occasions like Nowruz. Over time, however, the budget allocated to Gandom was redirected to other more urgent projects, in alignment with Yaran’s broader goals and priorities.
Maskan (مسکن)
In light of Iran’s economic challenges-characterized by high inflation, unemployment, and other social issues-many families, even those in the middle class, are unable to meet their housing expenses. The Maskan (Housing) project aims to alleviate this burden by covering 50% of monthly rental costs for qualifying families. This assistance is capped at 1.5 million toomans
(approximately $30 USO). Eligibility for support is determined after a thorough review by Ya ran members, who assess the financial need of the applicants.
Kar O Danesh (کارو دانش)
To combat the growing issue of child labor, Yaran launched the Kar O Danesh (Skill & Education) project. This initiative offers underprivileged teenagers access to free vocational training in areas such as sewing, tailoring, and pottery. Yaran covers all associated costs, including trainer fees, supplies, and equipment like sewing machines. Upon completion of their training, participants are equipped with skills that will help them enter the workforce.
Darman O Daroo (درمان و دارو)
High healthcare costs and the lack of insurance for lower-income families in Iran have made it difficult for many to access essential medical services. The Darman O Daroo (Treatment & Medications) project provides financial assistance to cover medical expenses for eligible individuals. After a thorough review of each case, Yaran works with trusted pharmacies and healthcare providers to supply necessary medications and treatments. Funding for this project comes from both general and designated contributions.
Moheet Zeest (محیط زیست)
Yaran is dedicated to the well-being of all living beings and the environment. Through the Moheet Zeest (Living Environment) project, we support initiatives that protect plants, animals, and ecosystems. Past efforts have included park clean-ups, providing shelter and food for stray dogs, and contributing to the preservation of forests and wildlife.
Ketab (کتاب)
The Ketab (Book) project is funded entirely by designated contributions from sponsors. In partnership with Ya ran, around 1,000 books for elementary-aged children have been donated to schools in underserved areas, helping to establish libraries that encourage learning and personal growth. These books, chosen for their motivational content, aim to inspire students to recognize their potential and the opportunities education offers.
