Why Lebanon?

More refugees live in Lebanon per capita than any other country—an estimated two million refugees in a population of 6.8 million. Seventy percent of the refugees live in poverty, and grow poorer with each passing year. Refugees are excluded from the formal labour market; they have no legal ways to earn an income. Many of them live in tents or substandard buildings. Vulnerable families are in dire need of assistance, but the country has been stretched beyond its capacity to cope.
