Lately, we have expanded our scope of services to raise awareness towards the dangers of COVID-19, including its psychological impact on families, especially with children, during lockdown, and how to take protective and proactive measures.

Witnessing (and living through) the series of shattering events that have hit our beloved country Lebanon since October 2020, starting with the revolution, inflation, and the economic crisis and moving through the COVID-19 pandemic, into the last explosion that hit Beirut resulting in death, destruction, harm, and homelessness. In response to the current crisis, we are mobilizing all our resources to extend whatever support we can, ranging from the implementation of minor repairs, moving to the distribution of food baskets and hygiene kits, and encompassing psychosocial counseling, especially to families who have children with special needs.

Our approach is holistic, we believe that every member in a family is a main stakeholder, hence we have addressed programs to cover the needs of supporting couples in having a healthy marriage “I choose us” and tightening the bonds between children and their parents by working through the distinctive international program “Good Enough parenting”.

A remarkable work has been in progress to support Special Needs families with social, emotional, psychological and technical support. Future plans of raising awareness and encouraging inclusive communities to adopt a supporting and loving approach to those families.

We have a team of experts and volunteers who overwhelm us with their dedication and kindness. However, we are in the process of developing a new initiative targeting Lebanese and non-Lebanese students and youth of the most affected from the blast, in order to empower them and create a platform for them to express their ideas, concerns and interests.
