Description

The partner organization Leb Relief focuses on improving environment, increasing the capacity of young unemployed people in technical fields and integrated support for the target communities of impoverished Lebanese and refugee families in Akkar, Tripoli and Beirut. The organization is an established national player in the sector of employment, technical training, installation and agricultural projects and in the sector of hygiene, water and sanitation (WASH). Leb Relief has very good relations with local authorities and is one of the humanitarian partners in national crisis intervention plans. Following the Beirut explosion, Leb Relief strengthened its team with dozens of new employees addressing the needs of the poorest families affected by the explosion. Leb Relief's activities in Beirut consist of reconstructions and provision of equipment for small shops and businesses that would not be able to resume their operations without assistance. In terms of capacity building and training, Leb Relief is carrying out reconstruction and plumbing work in Beirut by employing young unemployed people from local communities who, thanks to their experience, accredited certificate (technical vocational training) and work contacts, can better integrate into the labor market or start their own business. Leb Relief also provides psychosocial assistance and addresses the urgent needs of target communities, implement preventive mechanisms during the pandemic and pursues a multisectoral humanitarian approach. Beirut is also the home to People in Need Lebanon, a branch of People in Need Slovakia, which, together with Leb Relief, is preparing a new SlovakAid project in Tripoli. The organizations are therefore in close contact in assessing needs, planning joint activities and have already established very good and friendly relations. Both organizations will very much welcome the work of the SlovakAid volunteer to strengthen cooperation between the Lebanese and Slovak parties in providing assistance in Beirut.
