The House of Christmas NGO – Overview

Brief:

The House of Christmas (‘HOC’) was set up by a group of Lebanese professionals living locally and globally to support families living in financial distress across Lebanon, in their various needs: food and basic needs, decent livelihood, housing, medical services, education and legal support.

Our first fundraising event was held in December 2017 at the House which turned, for a day, into a proper Christmas market with gifts, kid’s activities, a food court, and a proper spirit of charity, solidarity and compassion to help alleviate the pain, inequality and poverty in Lebanon.

Since then, HOC organized several fundraising initiatives; and our network of families has grown exponentially.

HOC operates solely on a voluntary basis and is run by a team of dedicated individuals with similar values and common purpose.

Mission Statement
- Reaching out to families in need across Lebanon to help them regain their dignity and achieve sustainability in their lives.
- Providing targeted support to stabilize and strengthen livelihoods

Vision
Supporting, inspiring, and rebuilding our Lebanese community, family by family.
