Help deprived individuals in Akkar during Ramadan

Summary

The deterioration of the socio-economic status in Lebanon, the skyrocketing prices and the COVID-19 have affected many families. With Ramadan coming next month, followed by Eid El Fter, the expenses will further increase. People in Akkar who were already struggling to meet their needs, do not have enough money to prepare for the holy month and buy the essential food. Help us to ensure that deprived individuals in Akkar will not be left hungry in Ramadan and will partake in the joy of Eid.

In the long run, this fund will help deprived individuals in Akkar to stay healthy with Safe, nutritious, and sufficient food during Ramadan, a period of 29 - 30 days. In addition to bringing joy and happiness to orphans and poor families' children during Eid El Fitr days.
