On access to food and essential hygiene, Jouzour FSB supports families with food hampers and increasingly with personal hygiene items including feminine hygiene products, baby diapers and adult incontinence products. Many young families can no longer afford diapers, and some families have resorted to severely rationing food. Jouzour tries to help with donations in money and in kind, and when possible, includes fresh produce purchased from small local or seasonal farmers and pickled goods and jams from small local producers.

We believe that every child should have the right to education. It is the necessary path towards breaking the cycle of social and economic exclusion. It is an important path towards nation building. Jouzour FSB supports families for schools and universities tuitions, though we mostly focus on the latter. As a priority, we assist students whose parents are no longer able to support studies in which they are already engaged. These students are often close to graduation and may not have other options. We support them past the finish line so they can move forward with their lives. In the same vein, we work to provide aid to a number of underserved schools in our region, including for example refurbishment of school buildings that have become insalubrious, and provision of essential equipment such as laptops, desks and chairs, and schoolbooks.

The communities in which we live face daunting challenges due to the compounded economic and social collapse in Lebanon. We are a small charity, and our scope is limited, but we will continue to do what we can to make a difference to the lives of as many people as possible. For every young person who completes their degree, a whole future lies ahead. For every family that receives incontinence products for their elderly, the burden of love is that little bit lighter. Every surgery we help finance offers hope for easier days ahead. That is why we are so profoundly grateful to each of our individual donors, many of whom are family and friends, for their trust in our integrity and impact, for their support and collaboration, and most importantly, for their compassion.
