In 2025, the reconstruction of the Pirafat Temple and cemetery in Sinjar was completed. Led by Nadia’s Initiative in partnership with Yazidi communities, the project restored a site of deep religious and cultural significance destroyed during the conflict. The complex has now resumed its role as a place of worship, remembrance, and burial, including for victims of the Yazidi genocide. Beyond reconstruction, the project supports community recovery and the preservation of Yazidi heritage.
