Mary’s Meals is serving more than 900 children in Lebanon

Lebanon is one of the poorest countries in the world, ranked 102 out of 193 countries and territories in the Human Development Index (HDI).

Plagued by conflict and political instability, the country is enduring a historic economic crisis which is pushing its people deeper into poverty and hunger. Lebanon continues to experience a protracted refugee crisis, with some of the highest numbers of refugees per capita in the world. [Lebanon - European Commission]

Through our partner Dorcas, we provide daily meals to more than 900 children in a few places of education – one public primary school and three informal education centres (one within a refugee settlement). Our meals are served to Syrian refugees and Lebanese children from areas around Beirut that have been severely affected by the recent crises.
