The economic crisis and the political instability in Lebanon have taken an evident toll on the Lebanese-Armenian community.
The Armenian Relief Society’s international Central Executive Board has closely monitored the circumstances and, in November of 2019, already sent $5,000 in order to help the Armenian Relief Cross of Lebanon to ensure the provided services remain uninterrupted.
However, the situation has gotten progressively worse, and the number of Armenians asking for support from the Armenian Relief Cross of Lebanon has exponentially increased. Therefore, the Central Executive Board during its first Plenary Meeting (January 3 to 7) sent an addition $10,000 and decided to initiate a campaign to collect donations as part of an Emergency Appeal for Lebanon.
Through this project, entities and donors can sponsor the following programs, projects:
As usual, any donation, regardless of how large it may be, can greatly contribute to the cause. General donations will be distributed by the Central Executive Board and the Armenian Relief Cross of Lebanon, wherever it is most needed.
It is our responsibility to support the Armenian community of Lebanon which has been a pillar in our diaspora with its schools, cultural centers, and organizations, and has continued to participate in homeland and diaspora initiatives.
We call on the community to join our efforts for this emergency appeal and help us extend our healing hands to our compatriots to help bring a smile to the children, teenagers, and the elderly.
Donations can be made to your local ARS entity or on our website.
