Challenge

The needs of people in Lebanon are immense. Thousands of families are struggling to cope with the economic decline, with small businesses, the self-employed and those in the informal economy hugely affected. At the same time, Covid-19 continues to spread in the country, causing tragic loss of life and suffering. The explosion last year in Beirut left people frustrated and deeply traumatized the entire country. These multiple crises are causing untold hardship on the people of Lebanon.

Solution

The project supports people in Lebanon by addressing priority areas, aimed at making life easier under these extraordinary conditions while promoting local and international solidarity. The key areas include: Advocacy for solidarity, Support for volunteers, Psychosocial Support, House repairs, Small Business Rehabilitation, Food Security & Essential Supplies, Education and School Rehabilitation. In addition to opening a space for expressing friendship, empathy and solidarity with those in need.

Long-Term Impact

The project contributes to Adyan's mission in achieving societies that are more inclusive and compassionate, where everyone has equal opportunities for integral human development. Community-led support to people, and partnerships at the grassroots and international level, will continue to grow as a vital field of Adyan's mission. We are committed, during these extremely challenging times, to support people in Lebanon and to strive together to preserve diversity, solidarity and human dignity.
