The initiative aims to reach all segments of society, including displaced women, , and women from host communities, through a comprehensive plan that focuses on addressing their diverse needs. Specialized training will be provided to enhance women's capabilities in facing the crises and challenges they encounter in difficult circumstances. This training will cover various areas, such as life skills, handicrafts, and financial management, contributing to their economic and social empowerment. In addition, the initiative will offer psychological and social support aimed at enhancing women's mental health through individual and group sessions. These sessions will help them cope with psychological pressures and mitigate the effects of the difficult experiences they have undergone. They will also contribute to building their self-confidence and encourage them to express their feelings and communicate more effectively with their social surroundings. The initiative also seeks to empower women in the long term by providing the necessary tools to build their self-capacities, thereby enhancing their role in their communities as drivers of positive change and sustainable development. Our project aims to bridge this gap by distributing food assistance and hygiene kits, as well as offering sessions for mental health and social support, and providing recreational activities for children, such as drawing, to alleviate the psychological trauma they have experienced during the conflict. The food assistance provided by the project includes ready-to-eat meals and easy-to-prepare items to ensure that families' nutritional needs are met quickly. Hygiene kits will also be distributed to protect them from germs and diseases. These aids are intended to provide short-term support until beneficiaries can regain their independence or return to their homes after the war. ### Specific Objective 1: Economically Support Displaced and Host Families in Tripoli - **Activity 1.1:** Provide 1,000 hot meals. - **Activity 1.2:** Distribute 1,000 food packages to 1,000 families. - **Activity 1.3:** Provide 1,000 hygiene kits to 1,000 families. ### Specific Objective 2: Enhance the Psychological and Social Skills of Displaced and Host Families in Tripoli - **Activity 2.1:** Conduct a recreational drawing activity for 100 children. - **Activity 2.2:** Offer 6 life skills training sessions for 100 displaced women, each lasting 3 hours, covering topics such as communication (1 session), conflict resolution (1 session), self-awareness (1 session), decision-making (1 session), problem-solving (1 session), and stress management (1 session). - **Activity 2.3:** Provide 10 psychosocial support sessions for 100 displaced women. - **Activity 2.4:** Conduct psychosocial support sessions for 100 children.

Help Provide Essential Detergents for Shelters

Solidarity with Lebanon

Help Provide Essential Detergents for Shelters
This funding campaign to raise money for providing detergents to internally displaced people in Lebanon is vital for several reasons. The ongoing crisis has forced thousands of families to abandon their homes, leaving them without basic necessities for maintaining hygiene and health. In crowded and often unsanitary living conditions, the lack of access to proper cleaning supplies increases the risk of disease outbreaks, especially among vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. Currently, we are helping more than 35 shelters across Aley and Chouf Districts, where access to basic hygiene items is essential but limited. Detergents play a crucial role in preventing infections and promoting dignity by allowing displaced individuals to maintain personal and living space hygiene, which is fundamental for their physical and mental well-being. By supporting this campaign, donors can directly contribute to improving the quality of life and safety for those affected by displacement in Lebanon, helping them cope with daily challenges in an already difficult situation. تعدّ حملة جمع التبرعات لتوفير المنظفات للنازحين داخليًا في لبنان مهمة لعدة أسباب. لقد أجبرت الأزمة المستمرة آلاف العائلات على مغادرة منازلهم، مما تركهم دون الاحتياجات الأساسية للحفاظ على النظافة والصحة. في ظل ظروف العيش المكتظة وغالبًا غير الصحية، يؤدي نقص المواد الأساسية للتنظيف إلى زيادة خطر انتشار الأمراض، خاصة بين الفئات الضعيفة مثل الأطفال وكبار السن والأشخاص ذوي المناعة الضعيفة. حاليًا، نقدم الدعم لأكثر من 35 ملجأً في منطقتي عاليه والشوف، حيث أن الوصول إلى مستلزمات النظافة الأساسية ضروري ولكنه محدود. تلعب المنظفات دورًا حيويًا في الوقاية من العدوى وتعزيز الكرامة من خلال تمكين الأفراد النازحين من الحفاظ على النظافة الشخصية ونظافة أماكن معيشتهم، وهو أمر أساسي لسلامتهم الجسدية والنفسية. بدعمكم لهذه الحملة، يمكنكم المساهمة بشكل مباشر في تحسين جودة حياة وسلامة الأشخاص المتضررين من النزوح في لبنان، ومساعدتهم على مواجهة التحديات اليومية في ظل هذه الظروف الصعبة.

Hope in Action
“Soon I will be cold, I left my cloths at home. Soon I will be sick, I left my pills at home. Soon I will be sad, because I left my heart at home” , Zeina a displaced young Lebanese woman. “They Came, we welcomed, they needed food, we provided, they needed shelter we offered our homes. We shared what we had, will always do ... Until there is nothing enough to be shared” Boutros a vulnerable Lebanese hosting a displaced family. In the midst of Lebanon's most devastating humanitarian crisis, 1.2 million people have been forced to flee their homes, leaving behind their livelihoods and communities. With an overwhelmed healthcare system, soaring food insecurity, and rising prices, countless Lebanese families are struggling to access even the basics—food, medicine, and hygiene essentials. However, the host communities that CHREEK already serves are among the poorest in Lebanon and are themselves in a state of critical need. Many of these communities are facing severe poverty, with scarce resources now stretched beyond their limits as they work to accommodate and support displaced families. Our priority is to bring urgent assistance not only to the displaced but also to the hosting communities who are bearing the brunt of this crisis. Without immediate support, both groups face worsening shortages in essential resources, putting lives at risk and straining an already fragile social fabric. Your contribution will allow us to provide crucial aid—including food, hygiene kits, emergency shelter, and medical supplies—that can sustain both the displaced and the communities sheltering them. This campaign isn’t just about short-term relief; it’s about empowering our communities to rebuild. CHREEK NGO, a locally trusted organization with over 10 years of experience in crisis management, is dedicated to delivering not only immediate aid but also hope and lasting support to the Lebanese people. Why CHREEK Stands Out • Transparent and Direct Impact: With a clear breakdown of every dollar, you’ll know how your donation provides real, tangible support to those who need it most. Each $10 donated supplies a hygiene kit; each $50 funds a month’s worth of food; every $100 helps provide critical medication for the elderly and vulnerable. • Supporting Local Resilience: CHREEK’s approach combines emergency relief with projects designed to foster community resilience. We work hand-in-hand with local leaders and communities to create solutions that will continue to support people long after immediate relief efforts are over. • An Invitation to Be a Lifeline: We’re not just asking for donations; we’re inviting you to be part of a family committed to rebuilding hope in Lebanon. Your support today has the power to sustain a community tomorrow. Use of Funds • 40% - Urgent Food & Hygiene Kits: Directly delivered to families and shelters. • 30% - Critical Medication: Focusing on chronic illness support and emergency medical supplies. • 20% - Shelter & Hygiene: Essential supplies for temporary shelters and displacement camps. • 10% - Supporting Sustainable Efforts: Developing community-led projects to ensure food security and economic resilience. One could ask, what can one organization do to a country? What can my dollar do to help anybody? Your dollar has a specific small impact like our action to these 2 million problems!!! They would be one problem less! We need you!

Help Save "Thor" My Labrador Son
Thor, my sweet Labrador mix, came into my life when he was just a tiny, two-month-old puppy. From the moment I saw his curious eyes and felt his gentle spirit, he captured my heart completely. Now, at 2 years and 4 months old, Thor still believes he’s that little puppy, bounding around and filling my home with laughter and love. He’s always been so full of energy, barking to keep everyone close and ready for one more game. But six months ago, everything changed. Thor accidentally ate chocolate, and his health spiraled fast. He spent two days in intensive care, and the doctors warned it was a close call. After bringing him home, my relief turned to fear as his health took another frightening turn. He collapsed, his body shaking uncontrollably, his legs spasming, and his mouth foaming. It looked like an epileptic seizure, something he had never experienced before. Since then, I have been searching tirelessly for answers. Doctor after doctor quickly diagnosed epilepsy without any tests, which felt wrong and only left me more anxious. Finally, a compassionate vet suggested that Thor’s episodes might be tied to his stomach. With a special gastrointestinal diet, his episodes lessened, but only temporarily. Over the past month, his symptoms have returned, worse than ever. Thor is now barely eating. He throws up nearly everything, his energy drained, his once-bright spirit dimmed. He looks at me with those sad eyes, wanting to play but getting tired so quickly. It breaks my heart to see him like this, knowing he’s suffering and can’t understand why. The last doctor said Thor urgently needs an MRI, CT scan, and neurological tests to understand what’s happening. These tests alone cost $1,840, and with my savings depleted and Lebanon’s situation making everything harder, I can’t afford them or any further treatment he might need. He’s not just a pet; Thor is my son, my companion, and my family. I’m terrified of losing him. Any help, no matter the amount, brings us closer to saving him. Please, if you can, help me give Thor the chance to get well and live the joyful life he deserves. How I Will Use the Funds Raised: • MRI • CT Scan • Neurological Tests • Abdominal Ultrasound • Chest X-Ray • Additional Blood Tests • Special Gastrointestinal Food • Ongoing Medical Care and Medications Your support will allow me to give Thor the best medical care possible and a real chance at recovery. Thank you for helping me bring back the happy, playful dog I love so much. If you're already in Lebanon you can donate using Whish or OMT directly: Mary Boutros +961 3 918 049

14 year old Refugee from Syria in need
Hello, I'm Wissam, and I'm 14 years old. I live with my father and my two sisters. I grew up without a mother because my parents divorced when I was 3 years old. My family and I fled Syria to Lebanon due to the war in Syria. Our situation was initially manageable back then. We were able to live and pay our dues and taxes. However, due to the economic collapse in Lebanon in 2019, our financial situation deteriorated, and we could no longer pay taxes and dues. We accumulated a lot of debts from the supermarket, and we owe around $750. We are also a year behind on our monthly rent to our landlord, who has told us to either pay the $3000 or vacate the premises. However, we cannot vacate the house because our financial situation does not allow us to rent another house for several reasons. Firstly, the ongoing war in Lebanon has caused many people to be displaced from the areas where current events are taking place to other safe areas, which has led to a sharp increase in monthly rent prices for houses. If you could stand by us to help us overcome these difficult circumstances that we are currently going through, I and my sister have shared dreams and projects that we would like to achieve by becoming content creators, but we do not have any equipment (computer, lighting, microphone, etc.). We need an amount that can help us live and equip studios for our work and my sister's work, after paying off our dues and debts. I would be very grateful if you could support us now. Wissam Saeed With best wishes.

Help Rana’s family to get out of gaza
مترجم باللغة العربية بالأسفل Hello, I’m Rana from Gaza, a photographer, wife, and mother. Before the war, I used to capture moments of happiness and success through my camera lens, my husband and I built our dream home together, furnished it, and took care of every detail to make it our lifelong home, and we welcomed our first child, Omar, "the fruit of our love," into it, but everything changed after October 7th. I lost my job, and there was nothing left in Gaza except bombing, death and destruction to capture through my lens and our beloved home, the place we dreamed of spending our entire lives in, has been damaged. During this war, we were forced to evacuate several times, facing the threat of death repeatedly. We endured the cold, hunger, high prices, and scarce resources, and my ten-month-old son, Omar, has spent more than half of his life in the war. After five months of suffering, we have exhausted all solutions to protect our family. There is no safe place here in Gaza and I can’t bear the thought of any harm coming to my family. Please help us survive the war in Gaza by leaving and traveling to another safe place, so that we can start our lives anew from scratch again; As Darwish said, we love life if we find a way to it. Your support and donation will save our life. Any amount can make a difference ❤️ أنا رنا من غزة، مصورة وزوجة وأم.. قبل الحرب اعتدت على توثيق لحظات الفرح والنجاح بعدسة كاميرتي، بنيت أنا وزوجي بيتنا الدافئ سوياً وأثثناه معاً واهتممنا بكل تفاصيله ليكون بيت العمر وأنجبنا فيه طفلنا الأول عمر.. بعد السابع من أكتوبر تغير كل شيء.. خسرت عملي ولم يعد في غزة سوى القصف والموت والدمار لألتقطه بعدسة كاميرتي، تضرر بيتنا "بيت العمر" الذي حلمنا أن نقضي فيه عمرنا كاملاً فيه، أما طفلي عمر فقد أمضى في الحرب أكثر من نصف عمره. خلال الحرب اضطررنا للنزوح عدة مرات.. واجهنا خطر الموت مراتٍ عدّة، واستنفذت كل الحلول لحماية عائلتي فلا مكان آمن هنا في غزة.. ولا يمكنني أن أتحمل أن يصاب أحد أفراد عائلتي بأي أذى. ساعدوني أنا وعائلتي الصغيرة في النجاة من الحرب على غزة ، من خلال الخروج والسفر إلى مكان آخر آمن حتى نبدأ حياتنا معاً من الصفر من جديد؛ فنحن كما يقول درويش نحب الحياة إذا ما استطعنا إليها سبيلاً. مساهمتكم وتبرعكم سينقذ حياة عائلة.. أي مبلغ صغير قد يصنع فارق ❤️.

Help my family to evacuate from Gaza
Hello my dears, I am Monzer Nezar, a resident of the Gaza Strip. I am 40 years old, married, and have two children, the eldest is 11 years old and the youngest is 9 years old. Before October 7 and the war on Gaza, we lived a beautiful life full of dreams and hope in the shadow of my extended family consisting of my mother, father, sisters, brother, his wife, and his young child. One day we woke up to the sounds of missiles and bombs falling on us like rain and everywhere. We escaped from our homes ourselves and moved to the city of Rafah amidst bombing, killing, and bodies thrown in the streets and destroyed homes. The smell of death was spreading everywhere, and when we arrived in Rafah, we learned that Israeli planes had... By destroying our beautiful home, which was our safe haven and which was built with effort of many years. We have spent many days suffering from fear, fatigue, and the sound of bombs falling around us. We have lost people close to us and people dear to us. We live in tents, the most difficult days of our lives, as there is no water, food, or medicine. Everything is difficult to provide, and the high prices have made us unable to provide food. We cannot find the simplest resistances to life, and we do not have the money with which we can support ourselves. We lost everything during the war on Gaza. resorted to the (Fundahope) platform in order to collect donations from charitable people for my family in order to provide them with food and drink and provide them with a simple life so that they can continue to live, since you do not know the extent of the suffering we live in among the tents. I want to help my family to get out safely from Rafah to the Republic of Arab Egypt is an escape from death, as the danger gets closer and closer every day, and we do not know what our fate is at every moment. Please help me in this donation campaign in the name of humanity so that I can evacuate my family from Rafah to Egypt before it is too late, as the costs of evacuation from Rafah to Egypt cost a lot of money, as one person needs to evacuate approximately 6,000 US dollars. 5,000 is paid to the company that evacuates. With evacuation and about $1,000 in living expenses, you never know, maybe $5 that you donate will save the life of a person or an entire family. I have set a goal and I hope everyone will help me reach it, and if you cannot donate, perhaps you can share my story with your relatives, friends, or people close to you. From you Thank you all, God bless you

Youth Innovators Program
The campaign aims to empower 50 youths from the Beirut area, aged between 15 and 25 years old, in Lebanon's disadvantaged communities with essential climate change skills. In turn, these 50 youths will train another 500 peers in essential climate change skills, forming a youth committee dedicated to climate change from among interested individuals, and projects to fight climate change. The "Empowering Youth Green-Innovator" campaign is designed to equip young individuals, specifically 50 youths aged 15-25 from disadvantaged communities in Beirut, with essential skills to combat climate change. These disadvantaged communities face challenges stemming from financial constraints and the devastating impacts of the Beirut Blast, which have left lingering psychological and physical issues. Youth will use a peer-to-peer strategy to train an additional 500 youths across Beirut in essential climate change life skills. Beirut recently faced unprecedented high temperatures and clear signs of escalating climate change impacts; The hottest temperature measured from 1949 to January 2024 was reported by the Houche Al Oumara weather station. In September 2020, the record temperature of 44.3 °C was reported. from extreme heatwaves causing outdoor burns to the reduction of green spaces and inadequate public guidance on environmental practices like recycling and waste management. Amidst these environmental challenges, a significant gap in climate change awareness and practical skills among the youth has been identified. The urgency of addressing this educational gap is underscored by predictions from the Ministry of Environment, which forecast a stark decline in Lebanon's GDP by 14% by 2040 and 32% by 2080 due to climate change effects. Highlighting this urgency, Nour Naccache a volunteer at Lebanese Spotlight (LSL) aged 22 years old and head of the activity department recently for youth at LSL noted during a Lebanese spotlight activity, “We, the youth in Lebanon, lack the real skills to fight climate change and awareness. The programs we have are superficial. We need profound skills and in-depth knowledge to take real action in our city, Beirut.” To counter this, the proposal is to start with a focused campaign: small-scale, targeted training sessions. These sessions will consist of 5 groups, each with 10 participants, meeting weekly for two months. Each two-hour session will be interactive, led by a facilitator, and aimed at fostering project ideas related to climate change from the youths. The initiative aims not only to educate but also to empower participants to create tangible solutions, potentially illustrated through infographics. Facilitators, each possessing a unique set of skills, will guide the youths in developing impactful climate action projects. join us in expanding this initiative to reach an additional 500 youths across Beirut. Your contribution can make a significant impact on our community’s climate resilience.

Beirut Coastal Cleanup Initiative
My name is GP SKAFF. I work in fabrics and my passion lies in the outdoors. I am involved in many environmental campaigns, with my most recent being the ‘Beirut Coastal Clean up’/ June 2021: The Beirut Coastal Cleanup is a grassroots movement. It started in 2021 with organized weekly meetups to pick up trash around the city. Every Saturday, a group of 20 to 30 people gather to clean up and send the trash to recycling companies. The areas covered are ramlet el bayda, rawche, manara corniche, zaytouna/biel waterfront sea side corniche, ashrafieh, tabaris, hamra, mar mikhael and more. We achieved over 100 Clean ups with 3000+ Saturday daily paid workers throughout Beirut, removed more than 400,000 Liters of trash and 5000 trash bags of glass bottles, plastic bottles/bags, paper and carton, In 2023, the plan is, with the help of more funding, to expand and cover more areas. We also want to clean the underwater seabed. With the help of our sponsors and their generous donations, a total of 9800 $ in 2021 were spent on manpower, bags, equipment and transportation. In addition to a cleaner coast and beaches, the most significant impact that we have seen is that people are littering less. They now feel a sense of responsibility when seeing fellow citizens doing the work. Help us reach our goal by investing in our environmental movement. The results are real! so you can rest assured your donation is creating a tangible impact on our planet for years to come! In 2023 our plans are: Project1: Beirut coast and city clean up Unfortunately, as per Ramco’s contract, they are not required to remove garbage from any area that is not a road and a side walk. This leaves dramatic results of uncleaned spaces such as those surrounding private properties, as well as parks, governmental and municipality land and spaces, mountains, etc. Since June 2021 a team of 20 to 30 people have been paid every Saturday wages to clean those areas. Our target is to increase the teams to 50 people (5 teams of 10), and to increase their wages to 20$ a day. Cost per day for 1 team of 10: 200$ + miscellaneous Cost per day for 5 teams of 10: 1000$ + miscellaneous Cost of 52 Saturdays with 1 team: 10,400$ + miscellaneous Cost of 52 Saturdays with 5 teams: 52000$ + miscellaneous Miscellaneous cost per Saturday : transportation 100$, equipment 50$, management ( hr & operation) Please see attached cost sheet Project 2: Beirut Underwater seabed cleanup More and more garbage and plastic end up in our sea and destroying marine fauna and marine life. Our project here is to pay 2 divers (Fouad and Zahi from Manara port, professional divers and fishermen), to clean up the seabed from Rawche to Aub and eventually expand further. And especially the Rawche caves where some seal or more live there. Main Cost is 50$ per diver per day + miscellaneous Please see attached cost sheet of this project Project 3: Rangers to clean and monitor Unfortunately, with the absence of municipality responsibility we have seen many areas where people gather daily and leave their trash.

My life has changed since October 7, 2023. I was displaced and left my home in the northern Gaza Strip and sought refuge in the south, as the occupation army asked us to do. I left the house for fear of my children. I was displaced many times and my husband and I suffered a lot to provide a safe and good life for my children, but I could not protect them from the occupation aircraft and their missiles. On May 10, 2024, I was displaced from Rafah to Al-Zawaida. I did not know that I was taking my children to danger. In the middle of the night, the occupation army targeted a house adjacent to the house to which we were displaced. The house collapsed over our heads while we were sleeping. My children were buried under the rubble of the house. My husband got out from under the rubble and began digging in the sand and rubble and lifting stones to get out my children, four children under the age of ten. They were screaming and crying, “Get me out, Dad! Save me, Dad!” He was digging like a madman, and he did not feel the flames of the stones and rubble as a result of the bombing, nor his head being open as a result of the injury. He only thought about his children. He got out my four children, injured, bleeding, crying and afraid. We were shocked by what happened and my children were transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital to receive treatment. Despite the lack of medical capabilities and tools, my children were treated, some of whom needed stitches without anesthesia. Can you imagine stitching wounds without anesthesia for a 5-year-old child? The sound of my child screaming while the doctor stitched his wounds broke my heart. Can you imagine my children lying injured on the ground because there were not enough hospital beds? What is the fault of my children to live this pain? My children's injuries were moderate, but their psychological injuries were very difficult. My children suffered from wounds, burns, and various bruises as a result of rubble and stones falling on them. We suffered from repeated displacement in tents, the summer heat, the heat of the worn-out tents, and the cold of winter now, with the tents flooding, not to mention the astronomical prices of food and drink. I want to return to my home and to my life before October 7. I ask you to help me get my children out of the Gaza Strip and to secure a decent life for my children and to complete their treatment outside the Strip. I hope you will help me.
