Reach 2023 - Safaa & Maariyah's fundraising for Lebanon · 31 March 2023

Alhamdulillah after the most eye opening and life changing deployment to Lebanon in September 2022, we have made the intention to lead this project once again for another deployment in 2023.

Story

Who I am and what my target is?

Hello, I am Safaa. After raising my original target of £5500, I went with the team I travelled to Lebanon and hand delivered food packages and life saving aid to the 1000’s of displaced Syrian and Palestinians refugees living in camps, some of whom have been there for over 30 years!

Since coming back I decided to renew my commitment to the cause and raise a further £5500.

I need your support in order to do so. Please donate generously, and help me provide the support so needed in Lebanon.

Why Lebanon?

Lebanon has the largest number of refugees per capita in the world!

Yet from recent news you will have noticed that Lebanon's economy has suffered greatly over the past decade. More recently Lebanon has struggled to deal with emergencies like the Beirut port blast, COVID-19, and the latest cholera outbreak which has contributed to it's growing humanitarian needs.

Lebanon’s population is facing increasing poverty levels, food insecurity, and disease outbreaks. While prices are skyrocketing due to a severe economic crisis, millions of Lebanese residents and Syrian/Palestinian refugees are food insecure, with needs expected to grow even more.

Lebanon has the largest population of refugees in the world with over 2 million living in makeshift camps. Some 90% of Syrians, 73% of Palestinian refugees, and over 50% of Lebanese households need assistance.

The donations raised will help support those living in some of the worst conditions imaginable in a country that has taken them in but struggles to support them.

Those who find themselves in these situations are at their most vulnerable and it is through your donations, and the help of charities like this that some comfort can be provided.

Physical Aid

Currently, there are team members on the ground in Lebanon distributing food packs and dignity kits to the Palestinian and Syrian refugees. (See below "How you can help" section)

Medical Aid

Medical centres throughout the country face shortages of basic supplies, in a time when a lack of healthcare can be a death sentence. The most urgent needs is continually having to be reassessed.

Right now, essential medical supplies are being delivered in Saida, Beirut, Akkar, North Lebanon and Qaroun.
