A Catholic charity serving our suffering and persecuted brothers and sisters around the world since 1947
beirut will not be abandoned
More than 100 churches, convents, Church-run schools and other institutes in Beirut are in need of repairs following the blast on August 4th. Aid to the Church in Need will be planning a project assessment trip to determine how best to provide pastoral support before winter hits.
The aid would come on top of the $300,000 emergency help provided by us
within days of the explosion—food packages and other urgent items for nearly 6,000 families worst affected by the catastrophe.
We are coordinating our aid for Beirut with other Catholic organizations, each taking responsibility for designated areas—repair of homes, education, medical care, and infrastructure. As many as 300,000 families in Beirut were displaced by the blast.
