Adopt an Iraqi Village is a voluntary, grassroots project that provides building supplies, clothes and basic household materials for impoverished families living in Iraq. Eventually the project included deliveries in Afghanistan also.

The project was started by the volunteer efforts of soldiers in the 133rd Engineer Battalion (Maine National Guard), and efforts continued with the involvement of other military and civilian individuals who wanted to help Iraqis and Afghans living in poverty.
