Caritas Australia has launched an appeal to support displaced and affected people in Lebanon due to the ongoing war, as well as those whose living and humanitarian conditions have significantly worsened. With winter approaching, the displaced families face cold weather and harsh living conditions that exacerbate their suffering.
The Lebanese people, now more than ever, need our prayers and humanitarian support.
Therefore, we call upon the Maronite community in Australia to contribute to this campaign and show solidarity with the displaced and those in need in Lebanon through Caritas Australia’s campaign.

Thank you for your compassion and support.
Launched in September 2023, the Lebanese School Appeal directly pays the school fees of students severely impacted by the worsening economic crisis in Lebanon, so they are able to stay in school
To date and thanks to your support and the generosity of our Golden Jubilee sponsors, we have paid the overdue fees of more than 800 students in need, in 17 schools across Lebanon. However, given the huge number of applications received, ongoing support is critical to helping more students in our homeland.
Your donation will directly go towards paying the school fees of students in need, in schools at risk of closure.
Donation boxes are available in our Parishes and organisations and you can also donate at the link below.
*Donations above $2 are generally tax deductible.
Lebanon, its population, its institutions, and its existence are in imminent danger.
Despite this, so many families epitomise humility and perseverance. Their silence was enough to bring anyone to tears, as do their words of love and thanks, especially for the people of Australia, who are helping them continue to feed and clothe their children.
This is particularly with thanks to the generosity of our Australian Maronite communities through the Lebanese Family Appeal.
You can still sponsor a Lebanese family in need for fifty dollars a month or $600 a year to help provide basic necessities.
Lord,
your word promises that you will refresh the weary, your truth nourishes our hearts, and your love revitalises us when circumstances threaten to dry out our faith.
Lord,
saturate us with your presence, pour your peace into every fibre of our being until we radiate with resilience.
We praise you.
In Jesus’s name,
Amen.
