LEBANON
More than 300,000 Palestinian refugees
Capital : Beirut
Population : 6,2 million
Regions : Areas of Beirut and Mount Lebanon
Humanitarian context
Lebanon has welcomed nearly one and a half million Syrian refugees since the beginning of the conflict in 2011. About 70% live below the poverty line, scattered in rural areas, in extremely precarious conditions.
This situation also weighs on the resources of the host population. Nearly half of Syrian refugees are children, according to UNICEF.
They grow up largely without schooling.
Our actions
SIF implements programs for refugees and the vulnerable host population in the Beirut and Mount Lebanon region.
Protection and well-being and protection of the child

Strengthening livelihoods
Support to 200 chicken breeders, beekeepers and market gardeners (equipment, training, distribution channels); support to 160 women organized in rural cooperatives.
