"The impact of this crisis will be felt for years," – Jessica Capasso, Director of Emergency and Humanitarian Assistance, Plan International Canada
Dear ,

Every day we learn more from our colleagues on the ground about the devastating crisis in Lebanon. Approximately 100,000 children have been displaced by the blast and they critically need life-saving protection, shelter and food. Your support is crucial – please give today.

BREAKING UPDATE: Given the severity of this emergency and urgent need for support, the Government of Canada has now raised their maximum match to $5 million, so you can help even more children and families by donating today.
Need for aid is at an all-time high as 15 hospitals and health care facilities were severely damaged in the blast that injured over 5,000 people. Also, COVID-19 cases have reached their highest number yet in the country.

Additionally, the country is already facing its most devastating economic crisis, worsening poverty, putting more children at risk of hunger and making this disaster even harder for families to recover from.

Please don't wait, lives and livelihoods are at stake – donate now and double your impact. The deadline is August 24th, so time is running out.

, your matched donation will help provide:
  • Child protection to children affected by displacement and trauma
  • Nourishing meals, food packs and water access for those most in need
  • Hygiene kits, sanitary pads, diapers, disinfectant and masks to support families' health and safety
I urge you to act now to reach even more children and families in this dire situation while the match lasts.

With my utmost gratitude and well wishes,
Tanjina Mirza
