Lebanon Emergency Appeal
Campaign by Salam Charity (RCN 1142191)
A massive explosion has rocked Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. It is feared that hundreds of people have been killed and thousands injured, in what has been described as one of the worst disasters the country has ever seen.

Story

My heart is still aching from the shocking events in Lebanon. It's so sad to see fathers trying to protect their children from the blast; it's hard to know that hundreds of innocent people have lost their lives and thousands more have been injured, their lives thrown into turmoil.   

I came across an absolutely shocking statistic today where the size of explosions from the past was measured, and I was stunned to find out that the explosion in Lebanon measured the third most powerful in human history, right behind Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 

This is the worst disaster the country has ever seen, that's why I have teamed up with Salam Charity to help all those who have suffered from this blast with medical aid, food and temporary shelters.

Please help me raise £15,000 and together we can support all the innocent people in Lebanon who have lost their homes and their livelihoods through no fault of their own.   

My thoughts and prayers are with all the families coming to terms with their loss

Salam Charity was founded in 2011 with the aim to help fight poverty and transform lives. Every night over 800 million people go hungry and nearly 6 million children die each year from preventable diseases. Salam Charity aims to tackle this by providing lifesaving meals, clean water, sanitation, clothing and education. This will allow everyone to realise their birthright of living a happy life by developing their full potential. Salam Charity works in many countries around the world with a particular emphasis on the Rohingya emergency crisis. Salam Charity has a five year strategic plan which will focus on bringing a positive and lasting change in the lives of those affected by poverty. Our aim is to empower people for them to be in charge of their own destinies. We endeavour to support households, local communities and national institutions to develop longer term collective approaches to reinforce their capacities to better respond to, mitigate and prevent humanitarian emergencies and hunger crises. Supported by global celebrities, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and social media influencers, We have one important mission: to save and change lives for the better. We will do what it takes to bring humanity closer to a world free from hunger and poverty.
