Support OATH Initiative: Bringing Hope to forcefully displaced

The situation

In the wake of devastating conflicts, countless individuals and families have been uprooted from their homes, forced to flee with little more than the clothes on their backs. The horrors of war have left many vulnerable people stranded on the streets, facing extreme hardships and lacking even the most basic necessities.

OATH

The OATH Initiative is dedicated to providing urgent support to these forcefully displaced who are desperately seeking shelter, food, and medical care. OATH focuses on delivering essential core relief items, warm meals, medical assistance, and safe shelter to those affected by war. This work is fueled by the generosity of donors and the dedication of around 30 volunteers who work tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable populations.

Since the start of this conflict, OATH has provided more than 8,500 meals, cash assistance to more than 100 families, and more than 250 core relief items. Every donation serves as a lifeline, enabling OATH to extend our reach and provide urgent support for those who have lost everything due to conflict.

How You Can Help

Your support can make a significant difference in their journey toward safety and stability.

  • Donate: Your financial contributions are crucial in providing food, medicine, and essential relief goods.
  • Provide core relief items, such as mattresses, pillows, blankets, clothes, etc. at OATH collection hubs: Balance Center and Cuisine Moumtaz in Verdun, and Balance Center in Shtoura.
  • Volunteer: Get involved and be a part of our community efforts to support refugees.
  • Spread the Word: Share our mission and help raise awareness.

Every action counts. Stand with us and help us create a brighter future for forcefully displaced.

*Note on financial transparency

Due to several financial abuse documentations of relief support occurring during this crisis, IndyACT commits to financial transparency, ensuring that every contribution is utilized effectively and responsibly. We believe that our supporters deserve to know how their generosity is making an impact, which is why we provide clear and accessible reports on our financial transactions and the impact generated. Major donors are also able to have direct oversight of how the financial resources are utilized.

IndyACT commits to not using any relief funding received for organizational operation, beyond necessary financial management costs, such as bank fees, financial auditing, and financial reporting, estimated at around 5%. The work conducted on the ground is 100% implemented by volunteers.

Strengthening Municipal Climate Action through a National Framework

      Within its Green Economy Programme, IndyACT is advancing a new initiative to strengthen  municipal climate action in Lebanon through the project “Strengthening and Networking for  Municipal Climate Protection Measures,” implemented in partnership with Green Mind and  supported by the IKI Small Grants programme.  Since the Paris Agreement, countries have committed to developing national climate strategies  and strengthening their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In Lebanon, the Ministry  of Environment has led this process, with IndyACT contributing through the “100% Lebanon  Vision” and the development of a long-term green economy pathway translated into the  country’s Low-Emission Development Strategy. However, ongoing economic and institutional  challenges have slowed national-level progress, while climate action has increasingly shifted to  municipalities. Despite this shift, local efforts often remain fragmented and insufficiently  connected to national planning frameworks.  At the core of this initiative is the establishment of a National Framework for Municipal Climate  Action under the Lebanon Climate Act (LCA). The Framework is designed to bridge the gap  between municipalities and the Ministry of Environment through a structured two-way system:  enabling the Ministry to share climate-relevant information, guidance, and tools with  municipalities, while allowing municipalities to report their climate actions and priorities back  into national planning and NDC development.  Beyond coordination, the Framework seeks to strengthen municipal capacity to design and
