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.

Investing in Resilience
Hello, my name is Arsho Tenbelian. For over a year, we’ve endured the looming threat of conflict on Lebanon’s southern border. But in the last 35 days, we’ve found ourselves in a full-scale war where no one is safe, and there are no secure zones. Between surviving each day and striving for a dignified life, I am struggling—but I refuse to give up on my dreams and my life just because I’m caught in a war I didn’t sign up for. The Goal: I am pursuing a master’s degree in Public Policy and International Affairs, which has always been a pathway for me to contribute meaningfully to communities in Lebanon and beyond. Education is more than an achievement; it’s my foundation for independence, resilience, and positive impact. However, with Lebanon’s ongoing turmoil, the stability needed to complete my studies and maintain my autonomy has become increasingly difficult. Why Your Support Matters: Your support in this campaign will help me achieve the following: 1. Education Continuity: Completing my master’s program is not just a career goal; it’s my way of keeping hope alive and preparing to contribute to humanitarian and policy efforts, especially in times of crisis. 2. Maintaining Autonomy: Independence is central to my values. Your support would help me remain self-sufficient during these trying times. 3. A Dignified Life Amidst Conflict: Between the chaos and insecurity, living with dignity is a daily challenge. This campaign will allow me to secure my essential needs, focus on my education, and live in resilience. My Current Reality: As war engulfs us, each day is a difficult balance between simply surviving and holding on to a future that still feels possible. I know I am not alone in this struggle, and I am grateful for any support that helps me keep moving forward—both to survive today and to achieve the life I envision for tomorrow. Thank you for reading my story. Your help, whether through donations or sharing this campaign, means everything in my journey to resilience and empowerment.
