Dear all,
Thanks to your generous donations, URDA managed to complete the Make a Difference: Ramadan Aid Project!
Your support helps us move forward with our projects and further serve the most vulnerable communities in Lebanon.
The worsening economic situation in Lebanon puts around %80 of the population under the poverty line. Many refugees are unemployed or make less than a dollar a day, preventing them from providing their basic needs.
This Ramadan, URDA implemented the Make a Difference project for Syrian refugee families in Bekaa. We provided them with hot meals, bread, and Eid clothes in addition to the Eid festival that filled the hearts of refugee children with joy.
By providing 250 families with hot meals for iftar including chicken or meat with bread and vegetables, we ensured that families would be breaking their fast on healthy and nutritious meals.
What is Eid to a child without Eid clothes? Most of the children of the refugee camps told us Eid felt like an ordinary day, and they were unable to buy Eid clothes. However, this Eid, we were able to buy Eid outfits for a total of 421 children, helping them feel the joy of Eid Al Fitr for the first time in a long time!
All this wouldn’t have been possible without your continuous support. Together, we were able to bring back hope and joy to the beneficiaries.
Best regards,
URDA Team
