During the war, many families in Lebanon were forced to leave their homes in search of safer places. As displacement increased, families faced uncertainty and urgent needs for shelter, safety, and basic support. As part of its humanitarian response, Rikaz welcomed displaced families and worked to provide them with a safe and supportive environment at Marjan School in Sidon.
Supporting Families During a New Wave of Displacement
Periods of conflict can force families to leave their homes with very little preparation.
When displacement happens suddenly, families may have to leave behind their homes, belongings, and daily routines. Parents and children can face uncertainty while trying to find a safe place to stay.
During the war, Rikaz responded to the needs of displaced families by welcoming them and providing support during this difficult period.
The goal was to help families feel safer and remind them that they were not alone.
Welcoming Displaced Families in Sidon
As the number of displaced families increased, Rikaz opened its doors to families seeking safety and support.
At Marjan School in Sidon, displaced families were welcomed in a supportive environment where their basic needs could be addressed.
Rikaz focused on providing:
A safe and welcoming environment for displaced families.
Support for families affected by the war.
Assistance with essential daily needs.
A sense of care and community during displacement.
Humanitarian support for parents and children.
