​URGENT Appeal

KEEP A SYRIAN FAMILY WARM THIS WINTER

Plummeting temperatures in Lebanon are creating freezing conditions for Syrian refugee families surviving in canvas shelters at a time when fuel is completely unaffordable.

They are in desperate need of help to heat their homes.


Please donate today and help heat the homes of the Syrian refugee children that attend the school we support in Zahle.

FAMILIES NEED URGENT HELP

Sub zero winters are common in Lebanon, but this year, heavy rain and plummeting temperatures are creating freezing, harsh conditions for refugee families who are surviving in flooded shelters, unable to afford fuel to heat their homes. 

​Lebanon has been grappling with an economic crisis that has sunk almost all the country’s refugee population into extreme poverty, along with a huge proportion of the Lebanese poor, who are also struggling to survive the winter. Compounded by COVID-19, political unrest and the 2020 Beirut port explosion, the country’s economic meltdown has caused the currency to collapse and sent the price of food, fuel and other essentials soaring.

“The homes are cold. The camps are cold. The air is cold. We are so thankful to have heat at the school so that the students can be comfortable and focus on their studies, but dealing with the cold in the camps is hard. With the economy in such a mess, the price of diesel has increased to a point where heating homes is very difficult”.

 
BETHANY LANIER, PROJECT OFFICER, LEBANON


It costs around £18 to buy fuel vouchers to heat a struggling Lebanese or Syrian refugee family’s home for a week in the Bekaa Valley, Lebanon. 

Please donate today and help keep a family warm this winter. 
​

Donate
Anything you can contribute will make a difference, and go directly to heating refugee homes in the Bekaa Valley and the homes of Lebanese families unable to afford fuel for heat.
