Our Story
Faith in Action for Lebanon's Forgotten Christians
Christians Global Aid was born out of a crisis — and a calling. We exist to ensure Lebanon's ancient Christian communities are not left behind as the country rebuilds.
Why We Exist
Lebanon's economic collapse — one of the worst in modern history — wiped out the savings of an entire generation overnight. Families who were middle class in 2019 could not afford bread by 2021. The Lebanese pound lost over 90% of its value. Electricity runs for only a few hours a day. Medicine is scarce. Schools are closing.
Lebanon's Christian communities — among the oldest in the world, descendants of the earliest followers of Christ — are quietly disappearing. Emigration, poverty, and despair are driving them out. If nothing changes, Lebanon risks losing its Christian presence entirely within a generation.
Christians Global Aid was founded to change that. Not with charity that demeans — but with dignified, faith-rooted aid that says: you are not forgotten.
“We are not just delivering food baskets. We are delivering hope to people who have been told — by circumstance — that they don't matter. They do.”
— Elie, Founder
Our Mission
Serve. Restore. Uplift.
To provide immediate humanitarian relief and long-term resilience to Lebanon's Christian communities through faith-based, dignified, and accountable programs in food security, education, and healthcare.
Our Vision
A Thriving Christian Presence in Lebanon
A Lebanon where Christian families can stay, thrive, and continue their centuries-long witness of faith — not as refugees in their own land, but as a flourishing community with dignity and hope.
How We Work
Our Core Values
Faith-Rooted
Everything we do flows from our Christian faith. We serve because Christ first served us — with love, dignity, and without discrimination.
Community First
We work alongside local churches and community leaders in Lebanon, not above them. They know their people best — we come alongside and resource them.
Full Accountability
100% of donations go to programs. We publish annual financial reports and maintain rigorous oversight through Zoho Books. Trust is earned, not assumed.
Sustainable Impact
We don't just respond to crises — we build lasting resilience. Our programs are designed to restore dignity and independence, not dependence.
Where We Work
Deir El Ahmar — Our Pilot Region
We launched our first program in Deir El Ahmar, a predominantly Christian town in the Bekaa Valley — one of Lebanon's most economically devastated regions. Results from this pilot will guide our national expansion.
