More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
More than 800,000 people in Lebanon are without adequate food and shelter. As the humanitarian crisis rapidly escalates and violence continues to take hold, thousands of families—displaced from their homes and villages—are in desperate need of your help. With more than 11 years of experience working in hundreds of communities throughout the country, CHF has close ties with the families we are helping. Nearly all of CHF's staff in country are Lebanese, many of whom are now themselves displaced.

Latest Update from the Field
Distribution of Relief Items
By Nussi Abdullah - Program Officer, August 16, 2006 02:04 PM
The first installment of emergency funds have allowed us to serve hot meals to 2,000 refugees in Zgharta Caza with our local partner, the René Moawad Foundation, and provide critical medicines to 160 chronically sick refugees in Koura. We are also working with a hospital in the Chouf to equip it with disposable medical supplies to treat refugees suffering from kidneys problems (dialysis) and other health problems, as some regions were not equipped to treat a big number of chronic patients and massive displacement.
