To empower refugees, new-arrivals, and communities in the United States in achieving individual and community self-sufficiency and integration.

Iraqi American Center is an affiliation of Kurdish Human Rights Watch ( KHRW). KHRW is a humanitarian, non-profit community based organization. KHRW has its main office in Virginia and some six centers in the USA and Iraq. Since 1989, KHRW has helped refugees and immigrants achieve successful resettlement. In reaching our goals, we have established social, educational, health, and international programs.

KHRW is also a prominent source of up-to-date information on the Iraqi people in general and the Kurdish people in particular. In the past decade, KHRW's priority has been to assist newcomers with training on various aspects of American life.

Today KHRW has a full range of services to help clients from all ethnic backgrounds achieve self-sufficiency.
