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 100 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.

Urgent Appeal for ARM Emergency Operations (2026)
Urgent Appeal for ARM Emergency Operations (2026)
ARM operations amid mass displacement and civilian harm during Israel’s continued war on Lebanon (March 2026) <strong>About Us</strong> The Anti-Racism Movement (ARM) was launched in 2010 as a grassroots collective by young Lebanese feminist activists in collaboration with migrant domestic workers and organizers. ARM’s vision is to see a just society where all migrants enjoy decent living and working conditions. Our mission is to achieve social, economic, and gender justice for all migrant workers and racialized groups (with a special focus on women migrant domestic workers) in Lebanon. <strong>The Crisis</strong> Since the March 2026 escalation of Israel’s war on Lebanon, Israeli forces have been indiscriminately shelling entire villages and striking residential buildings. Within weeks, martyrs were in the thousands, with indiscriminate attacks affecting the general population, including children. Over one million people have fled areas under attack, while airstrikes and missile exchanges have damaged health facilities, essential services, and bridges connecting communities. Public schools have been opened as emergency shelters, many reaching full capacity within just a few days, while other families take refuge in mosques, community halls, or unfinished buildings, often without reliable access to water, sanitation, or safe living conditions. The situation is especially dire for migrant workers, who are being denied access to shelters, excluded from services, and abandoned in conflict zones. With resources dwindling, needs increasing, and a shift toward a war economy in which daily-paid work is no longer available, the already precarious status of migrant workers under the Kafala system has become more critical than ever. <strong>What We’re Doing</strong> To respond, ARM has temporarily shifted its operations to: <ul> <li>Mapping needs of migrant workers and other groups excluded from other responses (such as Sudanese refugees, migrant children) and collecting information on available support systems</li> <li>Answering calls for assistance and connecting people to available services</li> <li>Working with communities to put pressure on various actors who are mandated to support migrants in Lebanon (embassies, governmental migration institutions, humanitarian support systems)</li> <li>Offering a staffed and accessible space where communities can meet each other, bring their children, connect, cook, organize and share important resources and information with one another</li> <li>Collecting various types of in-kind donations for emergency cases Supporting migrant worker mutual aid initiatives</li> <li>Upscaling security mitigation measures and investing in maintaining key operations during war</li> </ul> <strong>Support Our Work</strong> The significant lack of funding in the region to ensure our work can continue long-term has been a huge challenge since the start of the Genocide in 2024 and all the different wars that have followed in the country and region. This is coupled with the internal need to focus on conflict mitigation processes and responding to the conflict, which has further reduced our fundraising capacity to outreach. ARM is therefore urgently requesting financial support to sustain our emergency response mechanisms.

We are currently raising money to be distributed through: 1- Material aid for people in need according to the available funds. That includes food portions, drinking water, mattresses, pillows, blankets, clothes, etc. 2- Medical support for those severely injured by the Israeli occupation’s strikes. Main cases involve: - eye injuries, urgently in need of immediate support in order to preserve their eyesight and avoid permanent loss of vision. - ⁠General injuries including severe bone decomposition in need of immediate medical care and hand reconstruction surgeries to avoid permanent disabilities. This will happen in coordination and collaboration with hospitals to support their needs in carrying out the necessary medical procedures, especially with the frontliners at Al-Najda Hospital in Nabatiyeh. Every donation lets us help more people and secure more supplies for the hospital. The coalition was established under the name “Samidoun” in 2006 to address the devastating impact of the Israeli attack on Lebanon. It has been reconstituted by volunteers, grassroots organizations, and other civil entities to address the repercussions of the catastrophic explosion in Beirut on August 4, 2020. Today, the coalition is actively working once again to support those who are displaced as a result of the Israeli aggressions on Lebanon since October 2023.
