We are incredibly grateful for how much was achieved, because of your generosity, trust, and continued support.

In the summer of 2025, our team returned to Lebanon with one clear goal: to stand beside our communities with dignity, compassion, and action.

Thanks to you, that goal became reality.

We were able to connect directly with families and local community to assess urgent needs — especially at Sawfar Public School — helping us identify priorities and plan meaningful, targeted work for 2026.

Because of you, in 2025 we were able to:

1. Donate $2,500 to Sawfar Public School, supporting student tuition for families who cannot afford it and contributing to kerosene costs to heat classrooms during the winter months.
2. Provide $2,000 in direct financial aid to families in crisis, including widows, elderly individuals, and households living below the poverty line.
3. Secure over 100 boxes of essential medications (over-the-counter pain relief, first aid supplies, and vitamins), valued at more than $350, and distribute them to families in need.
4. Provide over $500 worth of diabetes supplies for a family with diabetic children who urgently needed assistance.
5. Collect and transport 250 pounds of winter clothing, delivered directly to families facing cold winter conditions.
6. Host a holiday fundraiser raising $500, sent as Christmas bonuses to support teachers.
7. Hold a New Year's Eve fundraiser, with $400 in proceeds dedicated to building our 2026 program budget.

Though our organization may be small, our mission is strong. Even from across oceans, we remain committed to showing up, responding with care, and doing the work we set out to do — because we see the real, human impact of every dollar and every act of generosity.

As we conclude 2024, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to you, our generous donors, whose unwavering support has empowered us to achieve so much this year. Every dollar donated and every article of clothing contributed has made a tangible difference, enabling us to continue our mission of aiding struggling communities in the mountains of Lebanon.

This year, we are proud to share the impact of your generosity in the Matn region, which includes towns like Sawfar and Sharoun, as well as their public schools, whose student populations come from surrounding areas:

1. Raised $3,500 in private donations for Sawfar’s Public School, supporting a range of needs from student services and building maintenance to heating costs and assistance for low-income students.
2. Raised $2,400 in private donations for Sharoun’s Public School, addressing similar critical expenses.
3. Collected and shipped over 400 pounds of winter clothing, which were distributed to families in need.
4. Secured over 100 boxes of over-the-counter medications, first aid supplies, and vitamins, valued at over $350, which were distributed to families in need.
5. Provided $1,000 to help in funding a life-saving surgery for a 4-year-old boy.
6. Raised $1,000 to support a young mother and her children following the sudden loss of her husband.
7. Secured over $500 in diabetes supplies for a family with children requiring essential care.

As 2024 comes to a close, there is still time to make your tax-deductible donation to support these vital efforts, especially as these communities face the cold winter months ahead. Lebanon has endured significant hardships this year, but with your continued support, we remain hopeful for brighter days ahead.
