Lebanon is facing a protracted crisis—an economic and humanitarian catastrophe unfolding daily. This is not merely a trip; it is an intensive, five-day deployment designed to deliver palpable, immediate relief to displaced and refugee families.
We are calling for dedicated volunteers to join Operation Phoenix, where you will be instrumental in distributing Psychosocial Resilience Support, Life-Saving Cash Zakat, and the comfort of Hot Meals where the need is most critical—from urban centres to refugee camps.
Five Days of Practical Impact
This deployment offers a unique chance to witness and participate in humanitarian relief. Over five purposeful days, you will gain unparalleled insight and make a personal contribution:
- Understand Aid: Discover first-hand the logistical complexities and realities of emergency aid delivery on the ground.
- Connect Deeply: Meet the beneficiaries, listen to their stories, and understand the true meaning of resilience in the face of adversity.
- Deliver Relief: Directly participate in aid distribution, seeing your fundraising efforts swiftly converted into essential support.
- Forge Purpose: Gain a profound sense of achievement and a lasting connection to Scot Aid’s vital global mission.
