In Lebanon, we work with local partners across a range of needs to bring hope to a country caught in economic turmoil and escalating conflict in the region. In partnership with HOPE worldwide Lebanon, we’re on a mission to bring relief to families displaced by conflict, support to families of special needs children, companionship for the elderly, and much more.
The current humanitarian crisis in Lebanon is the result of many overlapping challenges, leading to millions of people displaced in the country — sleeping on roadsides and in parks in an attempt to survive. Our partner, HOPE worldwide Lebanon, is providing vital support to those seeking shelter in four locations in Beirut. We’re offering psycho-social care, food, water, blankets, and laundry services to those in need, and are ready to identify additional needs as the situation evolves.
HOPE worldwide Lebanon continues to provide holistic support to families in Beirut who are grappling with the ongoing challenges of a crippling economic crisis, the 2020 explosion that destroyed thousands of homes and buildings, and the influx of 1.5 million refugees since 2009 (making Lebanon the country with the highest proportion of refugees in the world).
