Overview

Mission

Providing forestation and education assistance in the country of lebanon

What it reported doing in 2025

$90,000.00 donated for a program of forrestation in the country of lebanon, part of which was with the collaboration of the lebanese army, where over 1,000 trees from cedar and other climate compatible trees were planted. Because of the dire lebanese economic situation no one is taking care of lebanons environmental wealth, so our organization tries to be a lifeline in this matter. $50,000.00 dontated for a program of education assistance by providing over 400 grant for lebanese children and youth in the country of lebanon to assist them in affording basic education since they are the future of the country. The country of lebanon is experiencing a devastating economic collapse that is pushing over 75% of the lebanese population under the poverty line. Our organization tries to offer as much assistance as possible to keep hope for a better future despite the crisis that the country is currently experiencing.
