Empower Lebanon's Children & Youth
Empower Lebanon's Children & Youth
Hello dear reader, As we're all aware by now, Lebanon is overwhelmed with problems and corruption on top of the pandemic. The only way to inspire positive social change and raise back again is through educating and empowering the Lebanese children and youth. Yet, the education system has always been in great need of upgrades and the sudden online learning shift has made matters worse. Lebanese parents are not able to afford quality education for their children who are left confused and frustrated with extremely low hopes for the future along with severe socio-emotional wellbeing levels. Scorehub is an innovative social and emotional learning and capacity-building hub focusing on education and entrepreneurship matrix.

It breaks our hearts and burdens our souls every time we get in touch with Lebanese parents or children who are not being able to receive education of high quality and to be able to pursue their potentials in life; and ultimately, grow up into confident, self-aware, independent, and empowered change champions. We believe it's our responsibility to make a positive impact and allow as many Lebanese children as possible to receive the personalized academic, interpersonal, social, emotional, psychological, cognitive, and intellectual support they need. We wish to enroll more Lebanese children and youth in our innovative eduployment and edupreneurial programs to allow them adopt the entrepreneur and business mindset and advocate for social entrepreneurship; developing problem-solving and leadership skills to lead their Lebanese peers into prosperity. More importantly, the Lebanese children and youth now more than ever are in great need for someone who gets them and helps them be more aware of the situation we're all going through so that they'd be able to rise above anything they might encounter throughout their lives. We also like to keep learning fun, fun, and proactive. Let's do this! For that dear reader, any amount no matter how small or big it may be to donate for our cause. It surely will make a difference in our children and youth's lives. We will be sharing the progress and stories of inspiration and hope as we move further in this journey. Thank you for your support.

Beit El Baraka
Beit El Baraka
Beit el Baraka is a Lebanon based charity with a support program that assists decent Lebanese families living in strong financial distress. We are trying to restrain the fall into poverty of a disappearing middle class. Our Mission is to ensure dignity to hard working Lebanese citizens by assisting them in their struggle with the increasing cost of living. In a spirit of respect and support, we give them access to food, decent livelihood, medical services and education. Our Vision is a Lebanon where families can live a secure, valued and respectable life with access to social security, education and retirement pensions for all. Due to the lack of measures and lack of government support addressing this alarming situation, we felt the dire need to step in, and protect the lebanese family, all the while empowering youth, and women. To date, our database of beneficiaries comprises 226,000 people in need A glance at our 4 services: 1. Decent housing: We refurbish the homes of our beneficiaries in order to provide decent living standards. We also settle unpaid bills (rent, electricity and water) for families of retirees. Our impact: We are rehabilitating 3,011 homes and 320 small businesses devastated by the explosion. Our level our intervention covers the complete rehabilitation of structurally damaged homes and is done in very close collaboration with the Lebanese Army and the United Nations. 2. Medical support: Our medical support program fully covers treatment and medicine needs for our members. Our impact: We have 682 patients being treated for cancer, dialysis, diabetes, arthritis, glaucoma, osteoporosis, cataract, macular degeneration, and cardiovascular diseases; we also cover dental, hearing aids and prosthesis surgeries. 3. A free supermarket: In February 2019, we opened an elegant free supermarket based on a system of points which makes our members feel they are "shopping", not seeking charity. Giving someone the freedom of choice means giving them dignity. Our impact: We put food on the table of 226,000 people in need from all over Lebanon. And we have been vetted by international FMCG corporations such as P&G, Unilever, Nestlé, Henkel, Pepsi, Danone... And in order to sustain our food aid program, we decided to launch our agrofarming project. The sequential governments that impoverished Lebanon had no vision of a sustainable productive nation. Lebanon imports 80% of its food, and produces less than 10% of its needs in grains. And with no access to foreign currency, the risk of food shortage is now very high. Therefore, we have invested in agriculture and we are growing grains, vegetables and fruits. We also built a farm of sheep, cows and chickens, and 100 beehives for organic honey. Our impact: We are able to launch our own line of food products, create jobs that empower women in rural areas, cater to thousands of beneficiaries, and offer them healthy fresh produce. By offering fresh organic produce, our beneficiaries's health improves and consequently, our medical fees are reduced. In all our food bags and food boxes distributed all across Lebanon, we insert leaflets on which is written in arabic: "Nutrition is a human right, and should never be used as a tool to yield votes". 4. Education We want to instill hope in children so they know it is possible to achieve what and who they aspire to become. We are paying tuitions, buying laptops and installing internet in students' homes. Our impact: supporting 3,095 families to allow their children to continue their education. We have set up a micro loans program to assist the most talented graduates in launching their own start ups in Lebanon, and thus create jobs. We've also set up a psychological support unit for adults and children by partnering with specialised Swiss therapists. Some affected people are particularly unable to cope with the scope of the tragedy and can easily develop PTSD and bad coping mechanisms. We cover the entire lebanese territory: 42% Greater Beirut, 28% South Lebanon, 30% North Lebanon. Our major achievement remains our ability to keep our overheads at 2% of the total budget, proving how keen we are on optimizing every donation. We are regularly audited and our numbers are published on our website. Beit el Baraka is a Lebanon based charity registered in Beirut by decree number 2277 and a 501(c)3 status- Beit el Baraka USA, handled by the global law firm Morgan Lewis.

The House of Christmas
Emergency education appeal: Approximately 1.5 million Lebanese students are facing severe disruptions to their education across the country due to multiple compounding factors, including: - the economic collapse that has led to funding shortage, with 55% of Lebanese currently living in poverty - the prolonged impact of the Covid-19 pandemic which has resulted in an estimated loss equivalent to 3.9 years of basic education - the very low teacher retention and limited training opportunities in public schools, with average teacher salary worth 1 to 2 USD per hour - weak schools’ infrastructure exacerbated by approximately 50% of public schools used as shelters - political instability and hostilities Education is our primary source of hope for building a stronger Lebanon and serves as the cornerstone for sustainable development. Since 2023, our mission has been to support this vital sector and assist vulnerable families in a targeted and efficient way, contributing positively to the education of the next generation of Lebanese. We have covered to date school tuitions of more than 100 students across Lebanon based on their socio-economic situation, including students from the following schools: o College St Joseph – Menyara o Evangelical School – Tripoli o Besancon – Beirut o Collège de la Sagesse – Ain El Remaneh o Santa Maria – Ain El Remaneh o N.D.

The House of Christmas NGO – Overview Brief: The House of Christmas (‘HOC’) was set up by a group of Lebanese professionals living locally and globally to support families living in financial distress across Lebanon, in their various needs: food and basic needs, decent livelihood, housing, medical services, education and legal support. Our first fundraising event was held in December 2017 at the House which turned, for a day, into a proper Christmas market with gifts, kid’s activities, a food court, and a proper spirit of charity, solidarity and compassion to help alleviate the pain, inequality and poverty in Lebanon. Since then, HOC organized several fundraising initiatives; and our network of families has grown exponentially. HOC operates solely on a voluntary basis and is run by a team of dedicated individuals with similar values and common purpose. Mission Statement - Reaching out to families in need across Lebanon to help them regain their dignity and achieve sustainability in their lives. - Providing targeted support to stabilize and strengthen livelihoods Vision Supporting, inspiring, and rebuilding our Lebanese community, family by family. Previous emergency interventions: Following the war that started in August 2024, The House of Christmas collaborated with Offre Joie to cater for the families’ most pressing needs, mostly the elderly’s needs which include medication for chronic disease, diapers, lamps, clothing, covers and water heaters. HOC has also supported other NGOs, INGOs and local initiatives to provide help to the most needy and vulnerable.
