Lebanon
Mary’s Meals feeds more than 900 children every day in Lebanon!
Lebanon is one of the poorest countries in the world, ranked 102 out of 193 countries and territories in the Human Development Index (HDI).
Plagued by conflict and political instability, the country is enduring a historic economic crisis which is pushing its people deeper into poverty and hunger. Lebanon continues to experience a protracted refugee crisis, with some of the highest numbers of refugees per capita in the world. [Lebanon - European Commission]
Mary's Meals in Lebanon
Mary’s Meals has been serving school meals in Lebanon since 2016.
Working with a trusted partner organisation, Dorcas, we are feeding children in areas around Beirut, where there is a large refugee population. This includes children attending school in Antelias, children at a community centre in the Aley District of Mount Lebanon, and children at an informal education centre located in the Bourj el-Barajneh refugee settlement.
We are currently reaching more than 900 children every day in places of education.
