The crisis in Lebanon is getting worse

Since mid-August 2024, the public electricity provider has halted its services. By September, military conflict intensified in Lebanon, and in October, Israel expanded its invasion into the country.

In these challenging conditions, basic electricity is essential. PPLEB is providing solar solutions to families in need, enabling them to charge their smartphones for communication and emergency calls.

Please support the needy families and our efforts by donating. Your contribution can make a significant difference in their lives. Thank you for your generosity.
