Fundraising Campaign- AHEBBAII Action for Lebanon’s Displaced people
Fundraising Campaign- AHEBBAII Action for Lebanon’s Displaced people
"AHEBBAI’—meaning 'our beloved ones'—is a community-based initiative rooted in North Lebanon’s Koura district, extending support to those displaced by the recent crisis in Lebanon. It reflects an act of love and solidarity, rallying local citizens to provide essential relief to families who have been forced to leave their homes. Despite efforts from official organizations, the scale of this emergency has left many without adequate support. AHEBBAI’ steps in to fill this gap by delivering essential items like bedding, hygiene products, and hot meals directly to affected families sheltering in public schools and informal settings in North Lebanon and beyond. You can support by donating to sustain this operation: Monetary Donations: $150 to cover a breakfast for 200 people or $250 for a meat-based meal, or any other amount. By supporting AHEBBAI’, you become part of a collective effort to bring immediate relief and hope to those affected. Join us in demonstrating the strength of community solidarity, as we stand with our beloved ones during these challenging times.
