Children in Lebanon are subjected to the worst forms of child labor, including in construction and in forced labor in agriculture, sometimes as a result of human trafficking. This project seeks to support widows and orphan families in order to combat and prevent starvation and the possibility of sending children into the labor market. The project identified the most at-risk families and supported these families with food vouchers.
This project assisted 1,040 people from female-headed households struggling to make ends meet in Lebanon.
