ADRA Lebanon

The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is the global humanitarian organization of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Through an international network, ADRA delivers relief and development assistance to individuals in more than 130 countries—regardless of their ethnicity, political affiliation, or religious association. By partnering with communities, organizations, and governments, ADRA is able to improve the quality of life of millions through 9 impact areas.

ADRA is in Lebanon to offer humanitarian assistance in response to the Syrian crisis. The greatest needs of Syrian refugees in particular are access to health, food security, shelter and access to education. It is worth noting that vulnerable host communities more often than not, face similar problems as the refugees. The biggest challenge faced by humanitarian actors is that the needs eclipse the available funding. There are greater needs than resources available for interventions.
