Iking Hands Up for Children
2 years
old Charbel losts his
father and is now living with his mother and 2 other siblings in Bent Jbeil, Lebanon.
Bent Jbeil,
a town where Charbel
and his family live is located approximately 122km from Beirut, Lebanon. It is
in the front-lines of many Lebanese-Israeli conflicts, resulting in damaged
homes & economies, massive displacements, psychosocial trauma and a high
death toll. Hence, the town still undergoes a struggling economy with a high
poverty rate of 70%.
As the
public health care centres there lack medical equipment and specialized
doctors, Charbel
and his other friends have no access to basic health care services. Not only
so, the violence against children increased after the 2006 war due to the tension
and depression faced by parents.
Together
with World Vision Malaysia, I am raising fund to sponsor Charbel and other children living in her community for 5 years. I hope
you will lend your support and together we can Hands Up for Children to ensure they are healthy and educated, able
to establish wholesome relationships and are participative, and most
importantly, are cared for and protected.
Your
contribution will help Charbel and other children living in Bent
Jbeil receive better healthcare protection. Children and the families will also
be educated on topics that raise their awareness on health issues. Whereas
child protection initiatives will be implemented to make sure the children are
protected from physical violence as well as verbal and emotional abuse.
