The last refuge for Christians in Lebanon
Today, in Lebanon, thousands of Christian families are facing dire circumstances. The war has destroyed homes, torn families apart, and left many without the bare necessities: food, medical care, or a safe place to live.
But the Church remains. And you can stand with them.
Amid the war, churches in Lebanon remain open, welcoming those who have lost everything. Parishes, schools, and health centers have become places of life, offering practical help and spiritual comfort.
The Crisis Continues and Education Is at Risk
In Lebanon, thousands of families face an impossible choice: use their limited resources to feed their children or keep them in school.
War, displacement, and economic hardship have left many families without income, land, or hope of recovery. For many parents, education has become a luxury they can no longer afford.
But for a child, losing access to school means far more than stopping their studies. It means losing stability, hope, and opportunities to build a better future.
Open Schools, Thriving Christian Communities
Christian schools are one of the pillars that help families remain in their homeland.
Today, ACN supports more than 15,000 students in over 200 Christian schools across the Middle East and provides assistance to nearly 2,500 teachers.
In Lebanon, where the need is greatest, your donation helps cover school tuition, support teachers, and ensure that children can continue their education even when their families can no longer afford the costs.
Lebanon, ongoing aid projects
Taking action today shapes the future. Emergency projects are underway across the country to support Christian communities affected by the war.

The Church in Lebanon simply needs generous people like you to help support Christians who are suffering the consequences of the war
The Church in Lebanon continues to be a refuge
Thousands of families in Lebanon have been forced to flee their homes and have lost everything.
Amid the uncertainty, the Church stands firm, opening its doors to welcome and support those most in need, reminding them that, thanks to people like you, they are not alone.
Thanks to your help, the Church can continue to provide food, medical care, and support to those most in need. But the need remains.
Today, you can help ensure that the Church remains a refuge for those who have nothing.
An urgent call for peace in Lebanon and the Middle East
Amid the escalating violence, Pope Leo XIV has spoken out clearly:
“Lay down your weapons—remember that you are brothers!”
The Holy Father condemned the violence plaguing the Middle East and reminded everyone that God cannot be used to justify war.
He also expressed his solidarity with the Christians suffering in the region, many of whom are unable to fully practice their faith because of the conflict.
His message is clear:
Peace is not optional.
It is urgent.
And today, that urgency has a face: the families of Lebanon.
Your help goes where it's needed most
You can help us support the Church in Lebanon by extending your compassion to those in need. Christians will need both spiritual and material support as they face yet another challenge in what has been a difficult and now terrifying existence in their beloved country.
Food and shelter: For those who have lost their homes.
Medical care: For the injured and sick.
Educational support: To help children continue their studies despite the difficulties.
Spiritual care: To provide comfort and hope during these difficult times.
Thanks to your help, the Church remains present
The Church in Lebanon has not left. It remains there, standing with the families who have been forced to flee and those who have lost everything.
Every day, parishes, religious communities, and volunteers continue to provide practical assistance: food, medical care, shelter, and support to those who need it most.
Today, you can help ensure that the Church remains where it is needed most.
Thanks to generous people like you, this work continues.
