Collective Action

Build Lebanon is gathering donations to help in the relief efforts following the Beirut Port explosion

Due to the explosion which destroyed our beloved Beirut on August 4th, more than 220 lives were lost, more than 6,000 people were severely injured, and it caused 300,000 families to become homeless. In addition, the Beirut port that brings 80% of the country's food is destroyed. 

The rebuilding of Beirut alone is expected to cost up to $20 Billion, in a country already effectively bankrupt with total banking system losses exceeding $100 Billion.
