Ayadina's Weekly Soup Kitchen initiative
Ayadina's Weekly Soup Kitchen initiative
In the heart of Lebanon's ongoing economic crisis, Ayadina Association continues to stand as a beacon of hope, particularly for our beloved senior citizens. In response to the persistent economic hardship, we are continuing our SOUP KITCHEN initiative for the elderly. Every week, we open our doors to around 80 seniors, offering them a warm, wholesome meal to take away. For many, these meals aren't just sustenance; they're a lifeline, supporting not only the elderly but also their families who rely on these provisions to survive. One of our cherished seniors, now unable to leave her home, shares her gratitude: "Ayadina's center was like my second home, where I spent many cherished years. Though I can't visit anymore, the meals brought to me by a friend are a reminder of the warmth and care Ayadina provides. The quality of the food is exceptional, a testament to the generosity and dedication of Ayadina's team." Ayadina Association, nestled in the heart of Nabaa, Beirut's impoverished neighborhood, was born from one woman's vision to uplift her community. Maya Najjar, our Founder and President, started with a single-handed effort, offering aid to those in need. Today, Ayadina stands as a socio-cultural NGO, providing seniors not just with meals, but with a sense of belonging and a space to socialize. We firmly believe that by changing one person's life, we create a ripple effect that nourishes the entire community. Through Ayadina, hope flows freely, touching every corner of our neighborhood. Over 80 seniors now call Ayadina their second home, a testament to the inclusive and compassionate environment we strive to create. Regardless of background or circumstance, Ayadina welcomes all, supporting both local residents and refugee communities alike. But we can't do this alone. We need your support to continue our mission of providing comfort and sustenance to those who need it most. Your donation, no matter how small, can make a world of difference to a senior citizen in need. Together, let's ensure that no one in our community feels forgotten. Donate today to Ayadina's Soup Kitchen initiative and help us continue serving our beloved senior citizens with dignity and compassion. Thank you for your generosity and support.

In support of the Anti Racism Movement
In support of the Anti Racism Movement
About ARM Anti-Racism Movement (ARM) organizes alongside migrant workers, including women domestic workers, living and working under the oppressive Kafala system. We work with migrant-led collectives to support their community organizing, collective action, self-advocacy and activism against systemic racism and injustice. ARM’ main pillars of work include community building through our Migrant Community Center (MCC); working on advocacy, campaigning, supporting grassroots initiative building; and through offering legal counseling and casework. Our Story ARM was launched in 2010 as a grassroots collective by young Lebanese feminist activists in collaboration with migrant workers and migrant domestic workers following a racist incident at one of Beirut’s most well-known private beach resorts. ARM activists, using a hidden camera, filmed the administration’s blatant acts of discrimination and segregation. Interest grew in this small volunteer-based movement, members increased, and our interventions grew in scope and scale. Later this year, ARM opened its first MCC and soon after, in 2012, registered officially as an NGO in Lebanon, with a growing staff team in order to increase its capacity to carry out wider operations to fight racist discrimination, abuse and exploitation in Lebanon. ARM works to achieve social, economic and gender justice for all migrant workers and racialized groups in Lebanon. We recognize the significance of self-organizing and actively support Migrant Domestic Worker leadership in rights activism. A primary focus of ARM is women migrant domestic workers living and working under the oppressive Kafala System, which is used to recruit and hire foreign labor in Lebanon, Jordan and the Gulf states. Our Values We adopt a feminist ethics of care in our work, where we value attentiveness, responsibility, responsiveness, and compassion. We also privilege the voices of migrant workers in every aspect of our work. We use a social justice framework as the basis for our approach, upholding fundamental human rights for everyone in our communities. We value the expression and practice of solidarity among all marginalized communities as a necessary alliance against oppressive and unjust systems. We view our everyday work as political and always seek to address the larger social, economic, cultural and policy structures that enable discrimination, abuse, and rights violations. We value the importance of building safe and strong communities that sustain the activism and offer supportive social networks for migrants and their allies. Why Support Us Your contributions are some of the most useful funding we receive. Considering that these donations can be used exactly as we want, it gives us the leniency to prioritize spendings based on the community’s needs. Considering that we are operating in a context of crisis, this margin of freedom is vital for the well being of our work and the communities that we support. We're counting on you!
