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 campaigns 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. With 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.

In 2024 we led a large emergency response during the escalation of war in Lebanon. Many internally displaced persons came to our area seeking refuge, and we were faced with an immediate need for emergency sheltering, food provision and non-food items, next to urgent medical care and mental health support for families living under immense stress and experiencing repeated trauma. In a matter of days we developed a comprehensive emergency response, taking into account the needs of the community. All along we collaborated with other local partners to strengthen the operations on the ground. Our team proved once again that their skills and lived experience are invaluable to run such a challenging operation in extremely stressful circumstances.

In 2025 we expanded our aid & relief efforts to Syria, running food security campaigns to support the most vulnerable families during the month of Ramadan. Our continuous efforts to improve quality of life are part of our holistic approach to healthcare and general wellbeing,
