Programs

Over the past thirty years, “GIL” programs have involved a distinguished group of intellectuals, lecturers, Members of Parliament, ministers, and political, religious, and civic figures, reflecting the multifaceted diversity of Lebanon. GIL has targeted individuals and young men and women from all Lebanese political parties, civil society, and independent groups without discrimination or exclusion. This aligns with its educational mission and core values, which respect human rights and commit to the safety of Lebanon’s society and individuals across their various political, social, and cultural backgrounds.

Humanitarian Aid

The campaign prioritizes delivering immediate humanitarian assistance, including food, clean water, refuge centres, and essential supplies to displaced individuals and families. Collaborating with local recognized community initiatives, the campaign seeks to ensure that vulnerable populations receive the necessary resources to survive and survive in dignity.

Medical Support

Recognizing the urgent health needs of the displaced, the campaign includes a robust medical support component. This involves setting up temporary clinics and mobile health units to provide medical care, vaccinations, and mental health services to those affected by the conflict. Partnerships with healthcare providers will facilitate access to essential medical services, ensuring that displaced individuals receive the care they need.

Fundraising

To sustain these efforts, the campaign actively engages in fundraising activities, seeking donations from individuals, corporations, and international organizations. Fundraising events, awareness campaigns, and online donation platforms will be utilized to mobilize resources for the campaign’s initiatives. Transparency and accountability will be emphasized to build trust and encourage contributions from the broader community.
