Al Ghina
An NGO that provides financial, educational & medical aids to orphans, widows & those in need
Al Ghina was established to provide widows and orphans with basic necessary provisions and services central to helping these communities. With over 25,000 beneficiaries under their umbrella today, these services range from the distribution of food rations and clothing, the provision of school fees, as well as medical benefits for families.
Covering communities throughout Lebanon, this predominantly women led organisation, is unique for their volunteering initiatives, which ensures their overhead costs stay at a minimum. Community volunteers, chosen for their leadership qualities and their knowledge of the region, play a pivotal role in identifying the most vulnerable within their district. The neighbourly aspect encourages a level of familiarity and support from a communal perspective.
