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.

UN Listens – A Chance to Make Our Communities Better

“UN Listens” is one of the latest initiatives by the United Nations in Lebanon, and it aims to engage the Lebanese citizens in making positive change to their communities and environment. For several years now, the work of the UN in our country has been associated with exclusively helping the Syrian refugees, but in fact they’re committed to their development projects for Lebanon and the UN Listens campaign is one example.

The UN is now calling Lebanese citizens to share their ideas on how they can make their communities better through a dedicated website www.unlistens.org, and the the authors of the best 10 letters with the most creative suggestions will have the opportunity to discuss their ideas with UN experts which can assist them realizing solutions for their environment.

So if you feel you lack the necessary support to voice a suggestion that can positively impact your community, make sure to write a letter through the UN Listens website presenting your idea no matter how big or small it is.
