Lebanon

A Country in Crisis

Lebanon is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, exacerbated by political instability, economic collapse, and the aftermath of the 2020 Beirut port explosion. The country’s over 1.5 million Syrian refugees have strained an already fragile system, while more than 3 million Lebanese are struggling with food insecurity. The country has witnessed widespread poverty, with over 80% of the population now living below the poverty line. Christian communities in Lebanon, traditionally a significant part of the population, also face increasing challenges due to the political and sectarian tensions. Attacks on Christian neighborhoods and churches have risen, and many Christians have been forced to flee their homes.

2025 Initiatives:

Food and Hygiene Support for Displaced Christian Families (January 2025): This food and hygiene program supported around 100 Christian families who were forced to leave their homes in South Lebanon and move to shelters in safer areas of East Lebanon. The TBP team provided approximately 250 hygiene kits and food packages, benefiting around 120 families—about 400 individuals in total.
Medical Assistance for Christian Villagers in Lebanon (March 2025): During the violent conflict in Lebanon, the TBP team intervened to support Christian villagers who had relocated to safe shelters, some of which had been provided by TBP. We provided medications for around 300 elderly individuals who were unable to travel to pharmacies or hospitals to obtain the care they needed.
Plant Distribution in Mount Lebanon (April 2025 - Present): The TBP team distributed 35,000 small plants to around 500 families in Mount Lebanon. The project aimed to feed approximately 3,000 individuals and provided them with a sustainable source of income to help them survive in the years to come.
South Lebanon Medical Outreach (May 2025): The program supported around 50 elderly individuals who were displaced during the recent war in Lebanon. The TBP team distributed medications and organized doctor visits for many who were suffering from heart disease and diabetes.
Supporting the Return of Christians to South Lebanon (June 2025 - August 2025): TBP’s strong support encouraged Christians in South Lebanon to return to their villages without fear and remain there. Through the program, the TBP team provided medications, food, doctor visits, sleeping kits, psychological therapy, and various other essential services. Around 1,000 to 1,500 people continued to benefit from this program from June through August.
Rebuilding the Medical Clinic in Lebanon (June 2025 - Present): After the recent war in Lebanon, TBP’s medical clinic was destroyed, leaving many Christians—especially the elderly—without access to doctors, blood tests, or essential scans. TBP rebuilt the clinic’s interior, allowing it to reopen and serve between 3,000 and 5,000 patients every six months from neighboring Christian towns.
Agriculture Project – Phase 1: Land Cultivation and Water Systems (August 2025 - Present): The first phase of our agriculture project in South Lebanon provided job opportunities and launched small businesses for more than 15 Christian farmers. With TBP’s support, they cultivated over 12,000 m² of land, reconstructed a 10 m² agricultural pond, and established a new water system with four large tanks to irrigate the fields. Around 100 impoverished Christians will benefit from this project, gaining three to four years of sustainable and stable economic life after the hardships they endured during the war.
Reconstruction of the Latin Church in South Lebanon (August 2025): The TBP team successfully reconstructed the Latin Church in South Lebanon, which serves as the place of worship for more than three Christian villages. The recent war had destroyed many Christian areas in the region, and TBP has been actively supporting villagers through sustainable and construction projects. The church’s reconstruction was warmly welcomed by the local community, who expressed deep gratitude for TBP’s ongoing efforts. More than 5,000 Christians visit the church each month.
Sustainable Chicken Farm in South Lebanon (October 2025 - Present): The TBP team launched a sustainable chicken farm project to support around 15 Christian farmers. The project provided chickens for the farmers to raise, allowing their families to benefit from the production of eggs and other poultry. This initiative is one of several designed to eventually establish a mini-market to sell these products and generate ongoing income for the community.
Bakery Project (November 2025 - Present): We launched a large bakery project to support over 2,000 Christians per month for an entire year. Located between five Christian villages that were severely affected and destroyed during the recent war, the bakery aims to help residents remain on their land by providing food and economic support and reducing the need to migrate. The project was equipped with modern machinery and staffed with skilled personnel to ensure maximum efficiency. It should ultimately benefit roughly 25,000 Christians annually.
