Lebanon is facing a humanitarian crisis, with almost three quarters of the population living in poverty.

The country hosts the largest number of refugees per capita, with around one in five people displaced from their home. Many families are struggling to earn a living, meet their basic needs, or provide their children with an education. For those living in the southern regions, ongoing conflict has added to the uncertainty of their situation.

By supporting the work of our local Baptist Partner, you’ll help families remain resilient throughout poverty and displacement through:

• Livelihood training – helping young people and women learn skills and establish small businesses such as tailoring, so they can build a better future for themselves and their families.
• Education support – our Partner’s education centre enables children who are marginalised or displaced to learn and prepare for the future.
• Social services – our Partner provides legal counselling and helps people in the community obtain ID documentation, so they can access basic services in Lebanon.
