Since 2019, Lebanon has been going downhill. The country's bankruptcy, the collapse of the Lebanese pound, government corruption and the country's "ungovernability" are having terrible economic repercussions for the Lebanese people. Today, 80% of the Lebanese population lives below the poverty line. One hour's electricity a day, hours of queuing to buy increasingly expensive petrol, the suspension of state subsidies causing price inflation for wages in LBP which have not increased for 2 years and are equivalent to one full tank of petrol a month, are all leading to the disappearance of the middle class.

 

Goal

RELIEVE THE LIVES OF THE LEBANESE PEOPLE, WHILE WAITING FOR THE SITUATION TO EVOLVE
SUPPORT PRIVAT SCHOOL, WHICH GUARANTEES A GOOD EDUCATION FOR THE CHILDREN

Since the explosion in the port of Beirut in August 2020, Mission Enfance has been constantly distributing emergency supplies to students, families and teachers... We operate via the educational centers we have been supporting for nearly 30 years in Lebanon. We will be financing the schooling of Syrian and Lebanese children in our two centers in Deir Al Ahmar (Bekaa plain) and Roueisset (Beirut suburbs). Support for Christian populations fleeing southern Lebanon is currently being evaluated.
