Responding to Lebanon's Multilayered Crisis
Lebanon is facing a compounding crisis—economic instability, the lasting effects of the Beirut port explosion, and the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis have placed immense strain on the country’s healthcare and social systems. Vulnerable populations, particularly those with disabilities, face barriers to accessing essential services, making HI’s work critical in bridging the gap.
HI's team in Lebanon has been tirelessly working to support displaced communities and people with disabilities by offering rehabilitation services, psychological support, and community-based care. In addition, they are working to ensure that people affected by these crises are not left behind, even amid scarce resources and growing needs.

Rehabilitation and Health Services: You could help provide vital rehabilitation services to those injured or disabled as a result of conflict or accidents. This includes offering physical therapy and access to mobility aids like crutches and wheelchairs, which often make the difference between recovery and permanent disability.
-
Psychosocial Support: Many individuals affected by trauma, displacement, and loss need more than just physical recovery—they need psychological support to regain their sense of normalcy and hope for the future. Your work could be essential in delivering mental health services to these communities.
-
Advocacy and Awareness: HI is also committed to changing systems to make society more inclusive. By joining HI, you will be part of a team advocating for the rights of people with disabilities in Lebanon, helping to ensure they have equal access to services, education, and employment opportunities.
