Walking with families toward a sustainable and hopeful future
The brutal worsening of the economic situation in Syria and Lebanon deprived many families of their jobs or livelihoods. MERATH continues to complement relief assistance with livelihoods and recovery projects, such as sustainable agriculture, shelter rehabilitation, adult literacy, and vocational trainings, to help families gain skills or get back on their feet.
VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS
430
individuals received trainings or small business grants in 2020/21
I am so happy and proud to be responsible for the sewing program of the church. I teach 10 women how to sew while trying to find ways of generating income for us to live in better conditions.
AGRICULTURE ASSISTANCE
1200
people benefited from agriculture assistance or livestock, poultry, and beekeeping support
We did not dream something like this could happen. This project will help the entire community and gave us a new hope in the future. We had the land, the water and the expertise. All it needed was this first push you gave us!
HOME REHABILITATION
200
homes were rehabilitated in Beirut and in Syria
Displaced with two children and no income, I was always dreaming of returning, but our house was damaged and we needed help to rehabilitate it. Thanks to you, my dream has finally come true!
