prayers are great but here are organisations you can support and donate to after the explosion in beirut, lebanon. as of right now august 4th 2020, 54 bodies have been recovered and thousands are injured, and entire neighbourhoods including hospitals have been destroyed. we’re already in an economic crisis and famine on top of covid and our government, as usual, has done and is doing nothing to help us, much less the refugees. we still don’t know what or who set off the explosion. we have 1.5 million syrian refugees and 300k palestinian refugees who also need help.
- save the children lebanon
- bassma: donations go to help families pay for health care, food boxes, clothing, education and tutoring
- anera: donate to syrian and palestinian refugee camps in lebanon
- association najdeh for female palestinian refugees in lebanon
- penny appeal lebanon, help buy food for children and families
- islamic relief usa / islamic relief canada
- basmeh and zeitooneh: learn about the social and economic crisis + donate here
- jusoor syria, refugee education program in lebanon
- help lebanon carrd with a few more ressources + overall petitions
if you know of any dependable and official charities/ngos in lebanon please reblog and i will add them onto this post as well.
edit: there is a post circulating saying that donating to lebanese charities is kind of useless atm bc the value of currency has dropped immensely so. idk i think its still important to donate to these ngos bc they provide long term direct help to ppl (food, shelter, education etc) and not through the government but the post did make valid points and i will try to find other funds as well!
edit 2: nvm lmao! donate your hearts out these are approved ngos who dont go through our shitty ass gov!
