Fundraiser for Sawa Palliative Care
Fundraiser for Sawa Palliative Care
Hello everyone, SAWA is a non-profit organization providing Palliative care for patients with life threatening illnesses, with a goal of improving the quality of life for patients and their families. We provide free services at home focusing on the medical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of patients during the last stages of their life, along with their caregivers’, in Beirut and Mount Lebanon. Our goal is to help people live comfortably their remaining days, with dignity and comfort, and to provide the best possible care for patients and their families. We are addressing these needs with our experienced and specialized team of physicians, nurses, social workers, chaplains and palliative care specialists. Palliative care is an essential service that ensures patients receive the necessary support during their most vulnerable times. However, providing high-quality palliative care requires substantial resources, including medical supplies, specialized equipment, training for healthcare providers specialized in palliative care, and comprehensive patient and family emotional and spiritual support services. Despite our best efforts, our resources are limited, and the demand for palliative care continues to grow. By supporting SAWA for Palliative Care, we can enhance our services and reach more patients in need. Your generous donation will directly play a crucial role in ensuring that patients and their families receive the compassionate and comprehensive care they deserve. We sincerely hope that you will consider our request and join us in our mission to provide exceptional palliative care services. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those facing serious illness. Any contribution is greatly appreciated. Testimonials from Patients' Families: • The family of Mrs. Sibelle Kaadi: After many years of battling cancer, we were introduced to "Sawa for Palliative Care”. The organization's members offered us sincere support, visiting daily, providing emotional, spiritual, and practical guidance, and even staying in constant communication with the doctor. Their presence brought comfort and strength during our time of illness and loss, helping us cope with the difficult circumstances. We are deeply grateful to "Sawa" for their dedication, compassion, and invaluable support throughout our journey. • Jumana, Souad, and Asaad Abu Alous And their families: SAWA provided invaluable support to our family by making multiple visits to care for our beloved mother, who, at 102 years old, was suffering from painful ulcers.

Adopt Don't Shop: A Journey of Love & Hope 🐾
Since 2018, our mission has been simple but vital: to give Lebanon’s forgotten dogs and cats the life they deserve. Thanks to a community of animal lovers like you, we have successfully placed 5,000+ pets into loving forever homes and rescued, spayed, or neutered more than 500 pets through our rehoming and TNR programs. We’ve even bridged borders, finding homes in France for over 50 "invisible" pets who were overlooked locally. But the work never stops. Many of our rescues arrive with heartbreaking stories; survivors of abuse, abandonment, car accidents, and severe illness. 100% of the funds raised through this campaign go directly toward life-saving medical care, nutritious food, and safe shelter. As a small team of dedicated volunteers, we do not take salaries. Every single penny you contribute is used exclusively for the rescue and care of these pets. How your donation helps: - Medical care: Emergency surgeries and treatments for accident victims. - Prevention: Spay/neuter (TNR) programs to reduce suffering on the streets. - Essentials: Providing the food, medicine, and safety required for the survival of stray pets and the ongoing care of our rescues until they find their perfect families. Follow their incredible transformations and see your donations in action on our social media pages @teamadslb (Facebook, Instagram, and X). Together, we can ensure no pet is left behind. Donate today and be the hero they’ve been waiting for. ❤️ Find all stories and updates on our website: www.adoptdontshoplb.org

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!
