IDEALS' mobile health clinic has been providing life-saving primary health care, maternal and mental health services for 25,000 Syrian refugees in Lebanon since 2017; but the pandemic, appalling economic crisis and loss of all other sources of support means that we now need your help more than ever!

Situation
1.5 million Syrian refugees have fled into Lebanon. Most live in tents or disused buildings with no basic amenities. Women and children are the most vulnerable and comprise over 70% of the refugee population. Over the past 3 years Lebanon’s crippling economic crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and recent cholera outbreak have resulted in a rapidly escalating and shocking level of need; skyrocketing rates of poverty, malnutrition, mental health problems, poor maternal care and safeguarding concerns.
Solution
Working with our local partner, Blue Mission, we have been providing life-saving support to 25,000 Syrian refugees and other vulnerable communities in south Lebanon since 2017. Responding to the current crisis we want to continue providing critical health services through a mobile clinic, with an increased emphasis on the protection of women and children, an expanded mental health/psychosocial programme, child growth monitoring and provision of nutritional support; all services free of charge.
