Lebanon has been living through a humanitarian crisis for years. Economic collapse, failing infrastructure, and political instability have all happened at the same time. More than 82,000 people are displaced, and many lack safe housing. Islam places great value on helping people in hardship. Allah reminds us:
“Whatever you donate will be paid back to you in full, and you will not be wronged. (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:272)
Your donation to Emaan Relief gets straight into the hands of families in Lebanon who are really struggling. With your support, people in Lebanon can get food to keep everyone fed, clean water, medicine, or even patching up a damaged home. It's simple, flexible support that fits their actual situation day to day.
What's Happening in Lebanon
The economic crisis in Lebanon has dragged on for years, and it's still hitting hard. The Lebanese pound has plunged more than 98% in value. Over $124 billion in deposits are basically locked away in banks. The economy overall has shrunk by about 45%, and real GDP is down close to 40% compared to 2019 levels. That means over 70% of people are dealing with poverty, and roughly 44% are below the national poverty line.
Jobs are very limited, particularly for young adults trying to start out. The government's ability to provide any kind of safety net has fallen apart. Families that managed okay before now find themselves borrowing money or going without the basics because prices keep climbing and incomes don't.
Displacement hit over 1.3 million at its worst. While many have returned home, full recovery is blocked by destroyed houses, unsafe land, or missing services. Education keeps getting disrupted, and healthcare access stays patchy in many places because of the damage and ongoing issues.
Emaan Relief's Approach to Helping in Lebanon
We concentrate on our family sponsorship program because it delivers real help fast. Emaan Relief send cash, medical and food aid directly through reliable and responsible local contacts. This lets each family sort out their own urgent needs, whether stocking up on food, arranging water, handling medical costs, or dealing with shelter problems. The Prophet (SAW) encouraged timely and direct help:
“Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.” (Hadith – Tirmidhi 589, Hasan)
At Emaan Relief, we’ve put around £117,000 toward medical support so far, which has reached over 7,000 people needing healthcare. Our team has delivered aid in 24 countries, and we use that experience to respond quickly and make every pound count.
Family Sponsorship in Lebanon
Family sponsorship provides ongoing support to households facing constant financial pressure. Through sponsorship, families receive help with basic needs, and this support reduces uncertainty and helps families plan from one month to the next.
Sponsorship remains flexible. Families are not forced into set aid items and can use support in a way that fits their situation.
Exactly How Your Sponsorship Changes Things in Lebanon
Donation amounts are based on real living costs in Lebanon.
£20 takes care of a family's basic needs for the day with things like bread, milk, soap, or other small essentials.
£40 keeps one family going for a full month, covering meals, water, and minor bills so they don't fall further behind.
£80 provides that same monthly stability to two families at once.
£200 gets the support to five families, helping spread relief through a neighbourhood or village.
Each amount is used carefully to make sure help reaches as many families as possible.
