Programme

What is the Lebanese garden project

Why is there an economic crisis and so much poverty in Lebanon?

What can you do to help?

       What is the Lebanese Garden Project?

Project started by 8 female Syrian refugees in Aley, Lebanon

Economic crisis          food unaffordable           so growing their own food

.....BUT need money to buy plants, seeds, chicken feed and clean water

Why is there is an economic crisis in Lebanon?  Why is there so much poverty?

Lebanon borrowed money to rebuild the country

stichtingzaam-my.sharepoint.com

• Don't export goods - no production
• Reliant on banking and tourism for economic stability - only offer services

• 3rd most indebted country in the world
• 60% of population living in poverty
• LBP dropped 80% in value

And then on the 4th of August 2020 this happened in Beirut....

So Lebanon's economic crisis was caused by:

1. Debt to rebuild country after civil war
2. Conflicts in the region -> refugees
3. Country only offers services - few exports
4. COVID-19
5. Explosion in Beirut

        What can you do to help Syrian refugees living in poverty?

          1.  Think about what you can do to raise money - community fundraiser

2. Raise awareness - tell others so they can also help

3. Hand in sponsorship form to Wilma van Splunder before or on Monday, 11 October before 13:00

    4. Hand in money raised in a closed envelope to the administration office before or on Wednesday, 13 October.
