Imagine living as a foreigner and alien in the country in which you were born. That’s the fate facing hundreds of thousands of refugees throughout Lebanon (and many other countries of the region).

After 60 years, these refugees still live in “camps” with no legal rights, forced to establish legal and illegal communities and institutions within communities. They’re not even second class citizens, but non-citizens with no country to call their own.

The refugees are forced to accept wages 75% less than those of their Lebanese counterparts — if they can find work at all. Rampant unemployment and economic hardship are the seeds of radicalism.

Honestly, many fathers of the children we’re assisting are in jail because of suspected terrorist activity. With your help, GHNI is working to offer educational, economic and social opportunities to these vulnerable children so they don’t repeat “the sins of their fathers.”
