About the building

Mam Rashan is a Yazidi shrine on Mount Sinjar that was destroyed by Daesh in 2014. ALIPH records its reconstruction by WMF and the Eyzidi Organization for Documentation as a completed 2019–2023 project.

The project

Establish whether the rebuilt shrine’s community wants help with maintenance or stewardship; reconstruction is not an unfilled fundraising need in the cited record.

Sources

ALIPH labels the project completed. The coordinate is a broad Mount Sinjar locator, not an exact shrine position; safety, permissions and current community contacts require direct verification.
