Offre Joie Making Positive Impact During Corona Time

Years of adversities in Lebanon have only taught us that our governments are never capable of providing help to the unfortunate people. They never have a nation-wide plan to rescue the needy families, some remote areas always end up being disregarded, and whenever they actually start taking action it always comes too late for the people. On the other hand, we are blessed to have a number of really good NGOs who consistently

A very good example is the current crisis we are currently going through in Lebanon due to the bad economic situation and coronavirus pandemic. People are losing their purchasing power by the day for 6 months now, and the current government is still trying to figure out a way to provide help.

Meanwhile, and in 3 week’s time, Offre Joie managed with their humble resources to reach 8,500 people by distributing hundreds of food boxes and hygiene items across multiple regions in the country.

Yet, they of course can’t just keep going on their own and definitely need donations to fund their operations. So if you’re interested you can contribute by following any of the below two links or call +961 71 83 24 39.

Tyeb El Eid – Everybody Deserves to Dress Well for Eid

Tyeb El Eid is an initiative by Cherine Kabbani aiming to provide those in need with free decent clothes this coming Eid.

The whole thing started earlier this month when Cherine wanted to donate some of her old items to those who cannot afford new clothing on Eid El Fitr and asked her friends on Facebook to do the same. However, soon afterward she was overwhelmed with the stuff that people were willing to donate, so she thought of renting a place where people can drop off their unneeded items and make them available to those in need.

The project of course needed some funding, and with the help of a non-profit organization called “Wafa” Cherine was able to rent a small shop in Bourj Abou Haidar (Beirut) where she receives a lot of items everyday and even got a batch from PM Saad Hariri.

Cherine’s store is already operating now and the stories she is sharing on Facebook about the people picking their new clothes from the place are so heartwarming.

Those who would like to contribute to Tyeb El Eid initiative can either check the Facebook Page for directions or get in touch directly with Cherine on 70 964 595 to arrange for a driver to pick up their donations.
