Razi Home

A Razi-sponsored project earlier and now running on its own, the Omid Medical Center of Orumiyeh in offers the latest in chemotherapy and other advanced cancer treatment programs, free of charge, to children and local population who can least afford it.

Lately, though, the center was beset by the extra financial burden of having to situate its patients in hotels and other hospitalities nearby. But, when it became clear that these conditions were not sustainable in a long run, the management of the Child Foundation, next door, decided to construct an independent residential facility to provide temporary housing for Omid Clinic's patients while undergoing treatment there.

By the time the building's plans were drawn up, however, additional funding was necessary to get the project off the ground. That is when a group of athletes from Tehran's Mountaineering and Cycling Club pitched in to assist in this great humanitarian cause. They charted a 1,200 kilometer tour of local roads and famous mountain peaks for charity. Local folks can lend their support simply by visiting the website below:

The massive earthquake that shook the Van province in Eastern Turkey along the border area with Iran in late October has left over 500 dead and thousands in nearby areas hurt, homeless and fighting the cold.

With your help, Razi has pledged to send in funds to local charity volunteers, on the ground right now, supplying food, temporary shelter and basic healthcare to victims of this calamity on an emergency basis.
