Lebanon's financial meltdown has swiftly worsened in the last couple of months, leaving more than three-quarters of the population living in poverty.

Given that the unprecedented socioeconomic crisis afflicts all segments of society, population groups at the highest and lowest ends of the educational ladder now have similar poverty rates. The UN children’s agency has warned that children in Lebanon face critical levels of hunger, illness and missed education as 80 per cent of the population has been plunged into poverty by the country’s economic crisis, deemed one of the world’s worst since 1850.

As the Holy Month approaches, many Lebanese families cannot afford to break their fast.

A food care package costs $17 and can feed a family of four during the whole month. Your Zakat and Sadaqah can transform the lives of many of Lebanon’s hungriest families and children.

Ramadan is a month of giving, sacrifice and empathy to those who are less fortunate and encourages acts of kindness and generosity. Donate today and help spread the light of hope. Ramadan Kareem!
