Development aid

Lebanon

In Lebanon, young people, and in particular women and individuals from refugee and marginalised communities, lack the capabilities to enter the labour market and provide themselves with the means necessary to ensure adequate living conditions. This lack of prospects leads to growing crime, substance abuse, and growing psychological barriers.

  • Population:
    5.6 million

  • Number of people in need of humanitarian aid in 2021:
    1.9 million

  • We started helping in:
    2020

  • Cost of aid provided by PAH in 2021:
    683 591 PLN

  • Number of people we reached with aid:
    1036

World Economic Forum’s Gender Gap Index 2021 put Lebanon in the 132nd place out of 156 countries as far as women’s participation in political life is concerned, their economic opportunities, educational opportunities, as well as adequate access to healthcare. Marginalisation of girls and women, as well as barriers that prevent their active social and professional life are manifold. Only 29% of adult women are professionally active, while in the case of men it is 76%.

In Lebanon, we carried out a project which, through the development of personal and life skills, provided children and teenagers with greater opportunities to use their full potential in the future, and thanks to the growth of professional competencies young adults have greater chances of being employed on a labour market which systemically marginalises them.

List of projects completed in Lebanon in 2021

Glow Centre for Empowerment: development of professional activity and reinforcement of the position of women and youth in Tayouneh in Beirut

Number of aid recipients:
1036 (including 709 women and girls)

Project location:
Beirut

Source of funds:
Polish Ministry of Foreing Affairs (Polska Pomoc)

The goal of this project was to create and promote among the surrounding native and refugee communities a safe and inclusive place that provides marginalised groups and groups in difficult living conditions with the chance to participate in free trainings that improve their personal and life competencies.

Individuals participating in this project (women, youths, individuals with special needs originating from refugee communities, as well as representatives of other marginalised groups) improved their personal and life skills, as well as their professional competitiveness as a result of completing innovative, high-quality trainings which addressed the needs of the contemporary labour market in Lebanon.

These trainings concerned the development of personal and life skills, business and entrepreneurship, robotics, 3D printing, software and computer game development, modern technologies that utilise solar power, as well as crocheting.

The project was carried out in co-operation with the Lebanese International Humanitarian Relief (IHR).

In our training centre in Beirut, we held classes in 3D printing. Participants included many girls and individuals from marginalised communities, including refugees (from Syria and Palestine), who frequently find it hard to get a good job.

Such trainings help them to acquire useful knowledge and skills!

As a result of the earthquake in August 2021 more than 2 000 people died and more than 12 000 people were injured. The earthquake’s epicentre was located a dozen or so kilometres from Petit-Trou-de-Nippes, the city in which we completed our project. As part of our involvement we satisfied basic needs, rebuilt temporary shelters for those affected by the disaster, and provided psychological aid.

The ongoing armed conflict, the economic crisis, the risk of natural disasters, climate changes, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic made 2021 a very difficult year for Yemenites. 

In 2021, PAH continued its projects in the healthcare sector by supporting seven clinics and one hospital in the Abjan, Aden, and Ad Dhale governorates. With the goal of restoring full functionality of the healthcare centres, PAH’s activities included but were not limited to deliveries of medicines, hardware, and medical products, items of everyday use, repairs of the building’s sanitary infrastructure, other repair works, and deliveries of water. Furthermore, we aided the medical personnel by holding trainings and paying their salaries. The scope and form of support were matched to each clinic’s actual needs. Bearing in mind that many people could not take advantage of medical services due to problems of logistical nature and some pregnant women prefer traditional childbirth at home, PAH equipped and trained local volunteers and midwifes. This made it possible to reach local inhabitants, as well as provide medical aid and advice outside the clinic.

In 2021 PAH aimed its projects at local communities in southern Kenya which has a tropical dry climate. As a result of adverse climate changes access to safe water and appropriate sanitary conditions is becoming increasingly challenging.

Our activities improved the conditions in which education takes place by ensuring access to sustainable water supply, sanitary infrastructure, and appropriate hygiene, as well as improving access to power from renewable energy sources. Together with the local agricultural co-operatives, we erected sand dams to regulate water resources. Moreover, by holding a series of trainings in management, agriculture, and animal husbandry we improved the effectiveness of farming and increased the production capacities and earnings of the agricultural co-operatives.

South Sudan poses challenges on many levels. Its inhabitants are facing challenges posed by climate change, epidemics, local ethnic conflicts, as well as loss of the means of support.

Our activities include primarily the provision of access to clean and healthy water by repairing and constructing water intake points, latrines, and hand washing stations. We hold trainings for mechanics and awareness-raising campaigns in good hygiene practices. We distribute hygiene kits to girls and women of reproductive age.

To help children, we develop educational programmes, we create temporary learning spaces where access to school infrastructure is limited. We undertake actions that reduce disease incidence and mortality of the most vulnerable groups by improving access to healthcare and food; we also help in food production. We distribute packages with non-food aid and undertake actions that reinforce local communities’ independence and capacity to respond to future crises. We create safe spaces for women who were victims of violence.
