Got to have HALIB!

Follow #artistgotmilk on instagram to buy art against your donation!

Halib means milk in Arabic.

In Lebanon fresh milk is rare - imported powder milk has become luxury.

Financially stretched to breaking point by financial + political turmoil, the COVID-19 crisis & August 4th Beirut explosion, families are struggling to buy milk for their children.

There is nothing more heartbreaking than a parent not being able to afford milk for their kids, directly affecting their growth.

Help us help them.

This December, no matter their nationality or religion, no kid in Lebanon will go thirsty - NOT ON OUR WATCH!

We have contacted NGO's with 2 simple questions: Do you need Milk? if yes, how many bags? Based on the data gathered we put a target of 5,000 bags. 1 x 2kg bag per family.

£4 (€4.5 / USD 5.2 / CAD 6.5 / AUD 7 / LBP 45,000) buys 1x2kg bag of milk

£30 ( €33 / USD 39 / CAD 51 / AUD 55 / LBP 312,000) buys a case of 7 bags

No donation is too small. Every bag counts. Every child counts.

(For donations from Lebanon, in LBP - please contact us directly)
