Helping Families in Need
One World, One Heart.
Lebanon's collapsing economy has plunged 55% of the population below the poverty line.
Support families in need with $200/month for six months.
Your donation will be delivered in monthly USD bills and will cover basic needs for an entire family.
NEW - You can now donate ANY AMOUNT: $10, $50, $100, as little or as much as you can
How It Works
We vet families in need across Lebanon and list their profiles below with names redacted for privacy
To donate, select a family, click the button and enter your credit card details on Paypal. We will charge you $230 every month for the next 6 months (total donation = $1,380)
NEW - You can donate any amount. We will aggregate donations and release to a family once they reach $1,380
$200 go to the family and are delivered in USD bills, cash in hand. $30 cover the costs of vetting, payment and distribution of USD bills. See the cost breakdown
