Aid & Relief
"The rising poverty and food insecurity of 80% of the population poses big risks for general health, with families forced to choose between food on the table or basic healthcare for their family members. Throughout the year we run campaign to support those most in need with food packs, rent relief and medical financial assistance."
As the only refugee led healthcare provider across Bekaa, we have access to large geographical areas of impoverished communities that not only need healthcare but also a growing urgent need of basic food assistance and livelihood support. Through this project, we run activities throughout the year to provide food assistance, financial assistance to support livelihood (in terms of rent relief) and cover for medical fees for patients requiring life saving treatment in clinics and/or hospitals where government and UNHCR led subsidies are unavailable; these relief services were established to support those living in poverty and with severe financial instability largely affected by conflict, war, displacement and worsening economic conditions in Lebanon.

"Volunteering within EMA association has been for me a very fulfilling experience. From a professional point of view, it has enabled me to learn a lot from the local team and especially to rethink about my practice as one has to take into account the different obstacles and issues people in the camps are going to face during recovery."
