Solidarity with Syrian refugees and Lebanese host communities
Lebanon is hosting more than one million of Syrian refugees who fled war in their country. They came to seek refuge in Lebanon where they live in precarious conditions.
For 3 years, arcenciel’s activities towards the Syrian refugees have grown 20 times, as well as the needs. Since the beginning of the crisis, we’ve served more than 27,000 Syrian refugees.
