Escalating since October 2019, the political and economic crisis is driving Lebanon to the brink of bankruptcy.

Lebanon is in a catastrophic economic situation. A packet of paracetamol already costs more than PLN 200. Our foundation has more than 260 chronically ill people under its care. For them, paracetamol is no longer enough. They need specialised medication. For people who not so long ago earned the national average wage, today treatment is an unbearable expense.
Our colleague from the foundation encourages us today to reach out to our patients. It is thanks to Kasia that we are able to bring you information via social media. She makes sure that donating aid through our website is as simple as possible.
