Help Provide a Safe Home for My Family in Beirut
Dear friends, kind souls, and generous strangers, I am writing this with a heavy heart, seeking your compassion and support during the most difficult chapter of my life. My family and I are trapped in a situation of unimaginable hardship in Lebanon, a country devastated by war, economic collapse, and insecurity. The war and economic crisis in Lebanon have not only destroyed our home but also shattered our lives. What once was a life of hope, dreams, and stability has been replaced with fear, exhaustion, and despair. I am the sole provider for my family, including my elderly parents, who rely on me for their care. Day by day, our struggle grows heavier, with no loans available, no work opportunities, and the rising costs of basic needs. The small joys of a secure and peaceful life feel like an impossible dream. Currently and temporarily, my family and I are living in a dangerous slum in a building that has been standing since the 1970s. The structure is severely damaged, with large cracks that cannot be repaired or reinforced. The building is at risk of collapsing at any moment, putting our lives in constant danger. The war destroyed more than just homes; it destroyed hope. The economic crisis has robbed us of opportunities to rebuild. Despite my efforts, I cannot find the means to provide my family with a safe and stable home. The constant fear of what tomorrow might bring has left us fatigued, broken, and desperate. In our darkest moments, I’ve felt the crushing weight of despair. I’ve even thought of ending it all, but I can’t give up—not for myself, but for my parents, who depend on me to protect them and keep them safe. I refuse to let them live out their final years in fear and uncertainty. This is why I am reaching out to you. I need your help to raise $50,000 to buy a small home in Beirut—the most basic, affordable place where we can feel secure. This amount represents the lowest price for a modest home in a country where prices have soared beyond reach. Every dollar you contribute brings us closer to safety, closer to hope, and closer to a life where we can finally rest without fear of what tomorrow will bring. Please, if you can, help us. Share this with your network. Every donation, big or small, matters and makes a difference. You may not know me personally, but your kindness could save my family from despair and give us the fresh start we so desperately need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity, prayers, and support. Sincerely, Mohammad

My name is Amer , and I’m reaching out because I desperately need your help to fight a health battle that’s taking over my life. I have a serious neck condition affecting the C5-C7 sections of my spine. The damaged discs are pressing on my nerves, causing unbearable pain, dizziness so severe it leads to fainting, blurry vision, and even problems with speech and balance. My daily reality is one of constant discomfort, and my nerves are being damaged more with each passing day. This condition isn’t just affecting my body—it’s taking away my ability to live a normal life. I can’t work to support myself, and I have no one to turn to for the urgent medical treatment I need. The longer I go without treatment, the worse my condition becomes, and I’m terrified that the damage might become permanent. To make matters worse, I also have a separate problem with my spine, adding to the pain and mobility challenges I face every day. Simple tasks like walking, concentrating, or even speaking clearly feel impossible some days. I’m not the type of person to ask for help lightly, but I’m at a point where I have no other choice. I need urgent medical care—diagnosis, treatments, and possibly surgery—to prevent my condition from worsening. But the costs are far beyond anything I can manage on my own. This is where I’m asking for your kindness. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward my medical treatment and recovery. Your support can give me the chance to regain my health, my independence, and my life. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing my story with others.

A Dream For Lebanon's Children

Education

A Dream For Lebanon's Children
A Dream for Lebanon’s Children: A Kindergarten for Healing and Hope Lebanon has endured heartbreak and devastation, and no one has suffered more than its children. Many have lost their homes, their loved ones, and the safe, carefree childhood every child deserves. These children—orphans, displaced families, and young ones burdened by war—are at the heart of this campaign. These children carry the weight of grief and fear that no child should ever bear. While shelters and basic aid provide immediate relief, what these children need most is a space to heal, rediscover joy, and rebuild their sense of safety. For years, I’ve dreamed of building a kindergarten in Lebanon, a place that goes beyond traditional education, a place where children can find healing, joy, and belonging. I always imagined it as something far off in the future, something I’d pursue when I had the resources and time to make it happen. But in the wake of the war that has shaken Lebanon, this dream has taken on a new meaning. It is no longer just about fulfilling a vision—it has become a response to a desperate need, and the time to act is now. Who I Am My name is Zeina, a Music Therapist and a certified Emergency Pedagogue from the Friends of Waldorf (Freunde der Erziehungskunst Rudolf Steiners). I hold a bachelor’s degree in Music Therapy from Antonine University and am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Educational Management. I have worked with children for over five years in various settings, including schools, refugee camps, and community centers, helping them reconnect with the joy of learning and living. My work has involved supporting children with diverse behavioral challenges and disorders, guiding them to process trauma, rebuild their sense of self, and rediscover hope and resilience. During the recent war in Lebanon, I was displaced like so many others, experiencing firsthand the fear, uncertainty, and insecurity that come with war. Under the bombings, I kept working closely with children in shelters and displacement centers. From a place of deep empathy, I could relate to every feeling they were experiencing—their fear, anger, grief, and longing for safety. This perspective gave me a profound understanding of what these children need to heal and move forward. My work using emergency pedagogy techniques during the war proved Waldorf’s approach to transformative power. I witnessed children rediscover a sense of safety and joy amidst chaos. These methods offer much more than temporary relief—they provide tools for long-term resilience and emotional recovery. One moment will stay with me forever. A young girl approached me in one of the shelters, clutching a piece of paper. She had recently lost her mother and twelve members of her family in the war. Her drawing was of an “∞” shape, a form we had practiced together during our session. The paper was crumpled with tear dots on it. She told me, “Thank you for teaching me this. Whenever I miss my mom, I pick up a pen and start drawing it. I will love her forever, just like this shape goes on and on.” Her words touched me deeply, showing me how something as simple as form drawing could become a lifeline for a child in despair. It was a reminder of how simple yet powerful these creative tools are, offering a sense of connection, expression, and healing even in the darkest times. While sharing my experiences with a Waldorf teacher in Australia, they reflected on something truly profound: “It’s beautiful how the same activities we do in our classrooms with children who have everything— are the same activities that bring healing and joy to children in war zones who have lost so much.” This is the power of Waldorf education. These words stayed with me. They reminded me of the universal impact of this approach and its potential to transform lives. Given all that, my dream has now evolved into establishing a kindergarten inspired by the Waldorf Philosophy. What is the Waldorf Approach? Waldorf education, developed by Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, is a holistic, child-centered approach that integrates art, music, storytelling, and nature to nurture a child’s body, mind, and spirit. It recognizes that education is not just about academic achievement but also about emotional and social well-being. Steiner once said: “Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.” This is the guiding principle behind Waldorf education. It emphasizes creativity, empathy, and resilience—qualities that children in Lebanon, especially those affected by war, so desperately need. This kindergarten will embrace the rhythm and routine central to the Waldorf philosophy, providing children with a predictable structure that fosters security and confidence. Activities will include natural and creative practices such as free drawing, form drawing, working with clay and wool, and exploring more materials from nature, offering children opportunities for tactile engagement and self-expression. The curriculum will also incorporate eurythmy-inspired movement, free play, outdoor play, storytelling, and music, all tailored to help children process emotions, develop physical coordination, and build social connections. These elements are invaluable for children recovering from trauma, as they nurture creativity, resilience, and emotional healing in a gentle, age-appropriate way. Why This Kindergarten Matters Now Lebanon has been ravaged by years of political instability, economic crisis, the Beirut Blast, and, most recently, the devastating effects of war. In the aftermath, countless children are left displaced, orphaned, and deeply traumatized. The emotional and psychological scars left by war are deep, and for children who have experienced such trauma, occasional psychosocial support interventions are essential but not enough. In Lebanon, mental health and emotional well-being are often not prioritized as much as academic achievement. Therefore, I decided to combine both—offering not just education but a space that nurtures emotional resilience and healing. The Waldorf approach naturally blends these two elements – By integrating art, music, movement, and storytelling into the curriculum, children will have a safe space to express their emotions and process their experiences. The Waldorf approach is almost non-existent in Lebanon, with only two institutions offering it, they both operate either in refugee camps or outside of the Beirut area, this means that children who have been directly affected by the recent war will not have access to this type of transformative education. This is what this kindergarten aims to fill. This isn’t just about providing education for a few years—this is about creating a sustainable foundation that will support generations of children. The kindergarten will be built with the long-term goal of fostering a community of learners who grow up with a deep sense of connection to themselves, to others, and to their culture. Through this approach, we will raise a generation that is equipped to heal the wounds of war and lead Lebanon into a more peaceful, compassionate future. This kindergarten will also extend its impact beyond the children by becoming a resource for the community. We will host workshops for parents to equip them with tools to support their own and their children’s healing and provide training opportunities for educators to grow into compassionate, skilled teachers who can sustain this vision. How Your Support Will Help Kickstart This Dream This campaign is asking for $20,000—a crucial and impactful step to lay the foundation for this kindergarten. This is just the beginning of a long-term vision to create a sanctuary for children to heal, grow, and learn. Your contributions will help: • Secure a Safe Space: Covering the first few months of rent to provide a nurturing environment for children to learn and thrive. • Equip the Classrooms: Purchasing essential art supplies, storytelling tools, and natural materials to create a creative, healing atmosphere. • Train Educators: Supporting the training of teachers in therapeutic and artistic methods inspired by Waldorf practices, ensuring they are equipped to guide children with love and care. • Handle Administrative Setup: Covering permits, registrations, and initial operational costs to get the kindergarten off the ground. Every dollar contributes to this dream, whether it’s buying a box of crayons, a storytelling tool, or training a teacher. By contributing to this cause, you are not only donating to a project—you are helping to lay the foundation for a brighter future for Lebanon’s children. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference. It will have a lasting impact, not only on the children who attend but on future generations of children who will benefit from this nurturing environment. This is more than a fundraiser—it’s a movement for hope, healing, and change. Please donate and share this campaign with your friends, family, and networks. Your support brings us one step closer to creating this sanctuary of hope. Thank you for believing in this dream and for standing with Lebanon’s children. With love and gratitude, Zeina

Processing Chicken Manure Into Organic Fertilizer
Processing Chicken Manure Into Organic Fertilizer Chicken manure is waste produced from poultry farming activities that can become an environmental problem if not managed properly. However, chicken manure also has great potential as a raw material for organic fertilizer that is rich in nutrients. This campaign aims to raise public awareness about the importance of processing chicken manure into organic fertilizer that can increase soil fertility and support sustainable agriculture. Background 1. Environmental Problems : Chicken manure that is disposed of carelessly can pollute the soil and water sources, and cause disease. 2. Potential of Organic Fertilizer : Chicken manure contains high levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, making it very good for use as organic fertilizer. 3. Demand for Organic Fertilizer : With the increasing interest in organic farming, the demand for organic fertilizer continues to increase. Objectives 1. Increase public understanding of the benefits of processing chicken manure into organic fertilizer. 2. Encourage chicken farmers to process their chicken manure into organic fertilizer. 3. Reduce environmental pollution caused by chicken manure. 4. Increase organic agricultural production through the use of quality organic fertilizers. Strategy 1. Education and Socialization : • Hold seminars and workshops on how to process chicken manure into organic fertilizer. • Create information materials (brochures, posters, videos) that explain the process and benefits of processing chicken manure. 2. Demonstration : • Conduct live demonstrations at farm locations to show how to process chicken manure. • Invite successful farmers who have processed chicken manure to share their experiences. By processing chicken manure into organic fertilizer, we not only reduce environmental problems, but also increase agricultural productivity. We expect support from all parties to realize this campaign for better environmental and agricultural sustainability. We need support for : Land : Space dedicated to the production site. Equipment : Supporting equipment such as mixers and others. Supplies : Packaging to pack fertilizer that is ready to be marketed.

Youth Innovators Program

Environment

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

Environment

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. We already have 2 full time rangers that are responsible and feel the sense of ownership of the manara beach and the Aub beach. They are paid monthly to clean these beaches daily. Our target is to increase these rangers to 6 to cover Ramlet el Bayda and Ashrafieh parks 9 tabaris and saint Nicolas). Main cost is 400$ salary per month per ranger + miscellaneous. Please see attached cost sheet Social entrepreneurship goals: To help some people get a little money To clean our land and sea To decrease littering of people To decrease the plastic waste that is or will end up in our sea and harm the marine life Recycle garbage that if not removed will end up in our sea The total cost of the whole forecasted project is over 100,000$, but with any fund we receive we will do the outmost out of it. So any donation will be much appreciated. I hope to receive a positive feedback from you. With best regards GP

Help Adella Grow Hope: A Mushroom Farming Journey

Help Adella Grow Hope: A Mushroom Farming Journey
In a world where hope can sometimes feel distant, I invite you to join me on a journey of resilience and transformation. Hello, my name is Adella, and I’m reaching out to share my story and seek your support for a dream that could change my life and my mother's life forever. I live with my mother, and together we face the daily challenges of life with resilience and hope. My father has passed away. I grew up without siblings or extended family to lean on. For as long as I can remember, I have dedicated myself to working tirelessly, often juggling multiple jobs just to make ends meet. Each day has been a relentless pursuit to provide for my mother and myself, navigating the challenges of life with resilience and determination. Despite my efforts, we frequently find ourselves grappling with the harsh reality of barely being able to afford even the most basic necessities. It’s a struggle that has shaped my character and fueled my desire for a better future. Despite these challenges, my love for my mother and the community around me fuels my determination to create a better future. Recently, I was presented with an incredible opportunity: a friend has offered me a small room in their house in Lebanon , that has the perfect humidity for growing mushrooms. This room could be transformed into a thriving mushroom farm, specifically for cultivating white mushrooms, which are in demand by local suppliers. This venture represents more than just a source of income; it symbolizes hope and a chance to build stability for my mother and me, as well as for the animals I care for in my neighborhood. But this dream needs your help. To get started, I need financial assistance to purchase essential equipment, including growing trays, substrates, and climate control tools. Each item is crucial for creating the right environment for the mushrooms to thrive. With your support, I can turn this small room into a productive space that will allow us to generate income and improve our quality of life. In addition to caring for my mother, I have a deep passion for helping street animals. In our neighborhood, there are many cats and dogs in need of food and care, and I have dedicated myself to looking after them. Your contributions will not only help me provide for my mother’s needs but also allow me to continue caring for these vulnerable animals that depend on me. This project will enable me to create a sustainable source of income that supports both my family and the animals that depend on me. My vision for this mushroom farm extends beyond our immediate needs. I dream of expanding this initiative into a larger project that could create jobs and provide support to others in our community facing similar struggles. I believe in the power of community and the importance of uplifting one another. With your help, we can cultivate not just mushrooms but hope, resilience, and a brighter future and better tomorrow for all. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to realize my dream. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and create a legacy of support and compassion. I need your support now more than ever to turn this dream into reality. Thank you for considering supporting my journey. Your generosity can help us grow hope and transform lives. With heartfelt gratitude, Adella

Save my children from war and hunger in Gaza

Save my children from war and hunger in Gaza
Abu Mahmoud, from the Gaza Strip, is married and has four children. Before the war, I was working to build my children’s future towards education and a decent life for them. I work as a taxi driver. On the seventh day of October, the occupation bombed an area inhabited by the entire community, and thank God we miraculously survived Me, my children, and my wife went to my family's house, but I did not know that my family's house had been bombed and that their neighbors had been bombed. Then my nephew Kifah was martyred, so I named him after my mother, may God have mercy on her. Until I went to his family, my wife stayed with them for more than two weeks, but the Israeli army received orders to evacuate the area. I took him to one of my relatives, but the house was full of women, so I decided to leave my children and wife there while I slept in the street One day, while I was walking in the street, an Israeli warplane bombed a car in front of me. I was completely injured. The palm of my hand was amputated, and I was injured in the chest, leg, eye, and head. . Praise be to God, I have recovered, but I suffer from amputation of the nerve in my hand, but I do not take care of myself now until I serve lunch and drinks. And clothes for my children. We only say what pleases God. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs. So a friend of mine asked me to start a campaign to collect donations for my children to survive the genocide I buy a tent to protect my children from the cold of winter and the harshness of summer, and I buy them clothes, food, and drink. I also want to buy my children a remedy for skin diseases, insects that spread due to poor head hygiene, lice and spiders so that I can cover them to sleep. There is no, so today we say to the world that we are living our worst conditions in Gaza: hunger, killing, and war among its people. With ethnic cleansing, we no longer have a source of income for our children, women and elders Therefore, we say to the donors that contact me and my children so that we can survive this ordeal, and we hope that you will donate to me. If it is not possible to dispose of the money, you can pray for me and spread my story to the world. Your brother, Abu Mahmoud
