Actual Results
Aug 21:
RI donated 2 plastic sheets to Mt. Lebanon distribution activities in Dahieh.
Aug 24:
The RI Distribution Program Officer trained five Lebanese Volunteers on
Aug 24 to assemble NFI kits and combine UNHCR and RI soap into hygiene
kits. RI rented two 4 ton trucks in advance of assembly, to be able to
transport the items on Aug 24. Each targeted municipality contributed five
volunteers and a warehouse. Materials were counted by an RI and municipality
representative as they were unloaded. Municipalities provided a list of
targeted beneficiaries (host families and returnees) and a certificate
of donation. The municipalities distributed the materials on Aug 25 to
host families and returnees. RI will verify reception by listed beneficiaries
on Sep 4, during distribution, using the provided municipality list and
through visits to homes.
Aug 26-Sep 5:
RI partnered with Offre Joie, a Lebanese humanitarian NGO (Khalaf Melhem,
Advisor, 03 719 579 Mohammed Hamadi, President, 03 512 144), to distribute
items in Bent Jbeil Kadaa. Offre Joie (OJ) assembled and transported NFI
kits with UNHCR materials and materials from other organizations. OJ made
direct distributions to host families and returnees using the municipality
list, by dividing villages into blocks and asking household representatives
to pick up items. RI and OJ will verify use of items in September.
Aug 29:
RI provided 15 tents to Lebanese Red Cross Youth Department for its relief
activities.
Sep 4:
RI donated 5 tents to MCC Lebanon for its activities in Marjaoun
Challenges
1. Offre Joie reported that families
are not willing to accept tents as home shelters, so they have adapted
them for use as child animation centers, where they provide UXO awareness
trainings and nutrition and activities for displaced children.
2. Changing context and needs of displaced and returnees
Key Partners
