Change a Child’s Winter
Your fundraising can help change the lives of refugee children living in Lebanon.
Where Will Your Funds Go?
Families in Lebanon’s refugee camps live in tents and makeshift shelters. These families lack basic necessities – including education, a fundamental right for every child. Tragically, many of these young refugees have never set foot in a classroom.
With the funds you help us raise, you make sure children who have already lost so much receive an education, and access to basic necessities.
Whether you choose the full marathon or the half marathon, your efforts will help improve the lives of Lebanon’s refugee children.
