Medical care for vulnerable populations in Lebanon

Dear Friends,

After a successful implementation in the Bekaa valley, we’re actually developing our project, a lot!

Thanks to your many donations we’ve been able to hire a relevant team dedicated to the project.

The bus is now used at its full potential, every day of the week. 

The medical part of our project is in on the verge to begin. Some nurse will visit the camps soon to make a need assessment and a doctor will join them in the next few weeks. Our bus includes a private part, ideal to welcome the patients. Thanks to our previous visits and the bound that we created with the camps inhabitant, they will open their houses to the psychologist and the social worker to continue their work.

Now that we can spend more time and fund on this project, we’re starting an expansion phase in the south of Lebanon.  But in the same time, the humanitarian situation in the Bekaa is so disastrous that we have to maintain an important presence here. We want to spend more time in the Bekaa, to increase our impact on the beneficiaries’ life before to divide our work in another area.

Our work with the children is starting to yield encouraging results. Indeed, we witnessed a change in their behavior. Their calmer, they feel safer, they’re more disciplined. But most of all, they start to play together, to trust each other; they share our game, instead of being in a consistent competitive state of mind.

Because most of them have experienced trauma and important distress, we can’t expect a quick result, but we’re already satisfied by the improvement of the situation.

A refugee camp isn’t a good milieu for kids to develop themselves and grow-up, but we’re proud to bring some stability in their life, even if it’s only a beginning. 

With your donation, Insan has been able to offer to more children an access to a psycho-social support and purchase needed equipment. We’re counting on you to help us on this amazing adventure and to be able to help them on the most efficient and holistic approach as possible.  
On behalf of the entire team, I sincerely thank you for your generosity, for your solidarity, and for your support.

We look forward to bring you more information about our project.

Warm regards,

Insan Team
