1 in 5 Iraqis are displaced
Between 500,000
and 1 million are in Jordan
The Collateral Repair Project is
a grassroots movement, created
to address the catastrophic
displacement of the five million
Iraqis who had to leave behind
their homes and communities
because of the violence and
instability that is the result of
the invasion and occupation of
their country.

We bring together the small,
overlooked, incidental persons
on both sides of the conflict who
grieve and ask:    
      What can we do?
Collateral repair
(dissent)
an attempt to respond to harm
caused by one's government by
collaborating with injured persons
and communities;

to re-build;
a citizen initiative to counteract
unjust foreign policies and generate
hope on both sides of conflict.
Collateral damage
(euphemism)
inadvertent casualties and
destruction inflicted on civilians in
the course of military operations
