For the children of Lebanon.
Lebanon is facing its worst displacement crisis in a generation. Over 325,000 people have been pushed from their homes this month alone, and children are among the hardest hit.
Hospitals are running out of fuel and medicine, schools sit empty, and families with young children are sleeping in unheated collective shelters.
Every gift is sent directly to The Zahra Trust's partners on the ground for food parcels, medicine, winter clothing, shelter kits and trauma care for children.

Standing with the children of Lebanon
Children across Lebanon are living through displacement, disrupted schooling and conditions no child should face. Families are sheltering through another winter with young children, often without heating, enough food, or access to basic medical care.
The Zahra Trust delivers food parcels, hygiene kits and emergency cash for families with children; funds hospital partnerships for pediatric, maternal and newborn care; and provides blankets, fuel and winter shelter kits where they're needed most.
Through our Psychological & Emotional Support Program, children find a safe space to grieve, speak and play again.
Healing the heart of a young orphan
One day, Ali stopped being the loud child full of confidence.
Ali is seven years old and lives in Nabatieh, Lebanon. After losing his father at a young age, he struggled with grief deepened by the trauma of displacement. Anxiety took hold: trembling hands, sudden outbursts, and long silences replaced the confidence he once had at school and at home.
That changed when Ali joined The Zahra Trust's Psychological & Emotional Support Program. Through regular sessions focused on emotional healing, communication and rebuilding self-confidence, he was given a safe space to express his feelings and begin to recover. Over time, Ali started smiling again, joining group activities, and sharing stories about his father for the first time.
“My child is smiling and communicating freely for the first time in years. He regained his childhood through these sessions. Thank you for giving us hope again.”
— Ali's mother
