HAL Program
HAL program aims at providing
life-saving and humanitarian assistance to families who underwent
and suffered
from the recent war in Lebanon. In response to quickly developing needs,
activities under HAL are targeting the returning Internally Displaced
Persons (IDPs) in 18 villages belonging to 3 clusters (Ghazieh, Tibnine, and
Yarine), as well
as the fishermen along the Lebanese coastline (covering 27 regions). CHF is
distributing relief commodities (food items, non-food items, basic fishing
tools, etc.) and increased access to clean water to lDPs (through the
provision of generators, water reservoirs, pipes, etc.), in addition to the
provision of awareness-raising
sessions on hygiene and health care promotion, and psychological assistance.
The program was amended to increase access of conflict affected communities
to necessary agricultural and human resources, related to fishing and olive
production. These include rehabilitating and equipping the fishing market
in Al-Abdeh, North Lebanon and creating income-generating activities in the
field of olive harvesting in Chouf, Batroun, Koura and Zgharta regions.
HAL II Program
As part of the Humanitarian Assistance to Lebanon, Phase II –
HAL II Program, CHF is targeting Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), who
returned to their homes after the ceasefire in August 2006 and still do not
have access to basic infrastructures such as water sources and distribution
systems. In partnership with the Litany River Authority, CHF is repairing
and reconstructing the pumping station, the administration building, the
siphons as well as the bridges that were bombarded during the latest
conflict. Furthermore, CHF, in partnership with the Lebanese Welfare
Association for Handicapped-LWAH, is equipping the Nabih Berry
Rehabilitation Center-NBRC in Sarafand, Southern Lebanon, with medical
supplies in order to provide access to proper health care services for
existing and newly disabled persons in the targeted region as well as
disabled persons from other regions in the country. On the other hand, CHF,
in partnership with the Rene Moawad Foundation-RMF, supported apple growers
through the implementation of Apple Harvesting Project in 5 Cazas in
Northern Lebanon.
