A list of Lebanese non-profits that can help get aid to affected families from the recent disaster.
Please note that in this time of economic turmoil in Lebanon, direct money transfer/donations may not be as easy as they are in the US or other countries. Also some Lebanese non-profits may not have the capability to launch and maintain websites with donation capabilities.
Therefore, I encourage you to get in direct contact with the non-profit you feel most comfortable with and see how you can help whether it's by sending money, care packages, or any way they might suggest and you feel okay doing.
Therefore, given the uncertainty and the distance, it may be hard to verify a non profit.
To help with that, I have put in with every item in the list a "trust level". A trust level is based on how I got to hear about these organizations and is divided into 3 categories so far:
-
Direct
: it means either I or a direct family member has a direct knowledge of this organization. -
Direct word of mouth
: it means either I or a direct family member has heard about this non-profit directly from a person we know. However, we do not have direct contact with the organization. -
Word of mouth
: Simply an organization that have made its way to my social feed and the only verification I have is word of mouth.
It goes without saying, please your own judgment and level of comfort when deciding to help.
If you know of non profits that can help at this time, please feel free to contribute to this repository.
