Lebanon Deployment 2025 | Here's What Happened
On Wednesday 15th January 2025, our team headed to Lebanon for our first deployment of the year.
Alhamdulillah thanks to your support, we were able to help Syrian and Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, along with internally displaced people within Lebanon. We also launched a brand new project for refugee children. Here's a breakdown of what happened on our trip:
Food Parcel Distribution
The team distributed food parcels to refugees in Lebanon, along with IDP’s (internally displaced people). Each food parcel can feed a family of 6 for 2 – 3 weeks. Parcels contain essential food items like flour, sugar and tinned goods.
Fun Day for Orphans
We held a fun day for orphans, where they laughed, played and ate food. These orphans and needy children have witnessed difficulties in their lives, with many unable to experience the joys of childhood that millions of other children around the world do. GRF works with orphans and needy children, helping them find sponsors to give the financial support they need to live bright, beautiful futures.
Winter Aid Distribution
We handed out winter aid to beneficiaries. This included mattresses, blankets, pillows, fuel and mother and baby kits containing essential items. These products will help provide comfort during the harsh weather and also once it passes.
Mental Health Project Launch
Refugee children are vulnerable to PTSD and anxiety disorders, with many unable to process the trauma endured. We are excited to launch a brand new project, helping refugee children with their development, using Play and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET).
