Construction project of irrigation canals

Kaa is a village located in the caza of Baalbeck, on the Lebanese Syrian frontier.
95% of the families live from agriculture, breeding…
This village is considered to be located in a region considered as a desert region.In this village where the people live from agriculture, water is an issue with great importance
For a long period of time and during the wars from 1975 till 1990, the water that came from the source of labboué was deviated and did not arrive to Kaa. This situation had catastrophic consequences on the people of Kaa who had to live in poverty.

Today, with the Israeli war on Lebanon, the canalizations in Kaa were destroyed and the harvest is totally spoiled.
Now the canalizations that were used to irrigate the land are in catastrophic situation.
The farmers tried to create passage for the water in their fields, this proved to be inefficient. In fact, the water is absorbed by the land, the irrigation is not intensive and the yield is low. Once again, the farmers found themselves in a situation of extreme poverty.
Due to this critical situation, l’ILDES is launching a project to construct irrigation canals. In fact, if the canals were built in cement, it will facilitate the watering and economize the water and allow the farmers to increase their output.This project is vital to the people of Kaa. As a result,they should not be affected by any minor incident and they have to be able to ensure their harvesting which is their primary source of income.
This project is expensive and the farmers are penniless…
The construction cost of 1000m of canalization is 38750$.

Emergency call for help

"The Social Institution of the Sisters of Charity of Besançon" is located in Baskinta, caza of Metn, it shelters orphans and social cases in a free boarding school.
Its mission is to help destitute persons and to take care of children with social problems that were most frequently abandoned by their families.Since the beginning of the war in the 13th of July, this institution looks after 32 displaced families from the southern suburb of Beirut and from the Mohafazat of Nabatyé and South Lebanon.
Among them, there are sick persons, infants and old people.
With the cessation of the hostilities, some of them regain their homes… and others are waiting for the clearing of the rebel.
The Sisters of Charity and with the help of some volunteers took charge of the displaced people that had taken refuge in the center and provided them with food, clothes, bedding, medications….
Furthermore they took care of their educational needs and entertaining activities.
The Sister of Charity provided them with every item they had (food & none food items) so that they would reduce the suffering of the refugees and make their every day life more bearable.

In order to take good care of the displaced, the sisters of charity had to use up all their stocks: fuel and gas stock, food stock, medication stock…….
Furthermore, they had to buy on a regular basis fresh food and hygienic products.

Also they had to hospitalize some patients and they had to buy medication for patient with chronic disease, these medications were not found at the Red Cross.
These expenses were done without any hesitation and with the joy of easing the suffering of the displaced, but it have left them penniless…with the fear of not being able to open their doors this year.

In fact, the emergency aid that arrived to Lebanon during this war covered only food cans and a small part of their medications that was provided by the Red Cross.
The Sisters covered all other expenses, which the amount has reached 7500 euro.
This amount does not include the stocks or the costs of the reparations that have to be done in the center due to this situation.

Faced to that situation, ILDES launched a project to help the Social Institution of the Sisters of Charity in order to enables them to start their social Institution this year and to help them to persevere.
Indeed, they do not have any more reserves! No More stocks! No money!
This institute cannot remain without fuels, food and medication and with buildings to be repaired especially that it is located in the mountains.
It will be very difficult for them to open their doors for the orphans and children with social problems whom they shelter and whose majority live in the areas that were bombarded (chyah, Baabda, Ain El Remaneh…) and are coming from poor areas.
Today they have more than ever need to be surrounded!

Decision 1701 of the Security Council: Cessation of hostilities

Blow of hope… Lebanese from all communities, hurry to go back and check on their parents, their localities, their houses….
Are we really going towards a durable cease-fire?
On the ground, people have feelings of uncertainty and ambiguity.
The two protagonists are still raising conditions…. proclaiming the right to renew the combat.
The million displaced people statistically announced need help more than ever.
The return to their localities of origin seems impossible for this year: smashed roads, destroyed infrastructure, no more water, no more electricity, and in most cases destroyed houses and destroyed schools.
Facing this disaster, ILDES is currently taking care of the fragile fringes of the displaced population: chronic patients, children and pupils

Healthcare for chronic patients:

These displaced persons are patients who follow essential medical treatments. The interruption of a treatment can be fatal for them. ILDES wants to provide them the necessary medication and medical assistance (doctors and nurses) wherever they are.

Education for children and teenagers:

Soon the school year will start. Would the war have ended? Whatever the answer is, children from 3 to 18 years, supposed to go in class as of September, will be blocked in the areas that accommodate them. Those children must be able to go to school. An interruption of their schooling can only lead them to immigration or worse, to delinquency.
For this reason ILDES wants to provide these children books and educational games including musical equipment. In the long run ILDES wants to finance their schoolings and to meet their educational needs.

For the moment, ILDES launches the campaign:

1 Child 1 Book

ILDES: Medical care center for the displaced persons.

In pursing its mission in helping the persons displaced by the wars that devasted Lebanon, ILDES has created a medical care center which essential goals are a sanitary prevention and a medical assistance for persons in need.

Over the last 20 years, our medical center has always offered its services and responded to all requests.
With the present war and the consequent humanitarian crisis, our center is receiving a huge number of displaced persons who took refuge in the region of Hadath. Requests for help are more then 5 fold now, and our center can't manage with its stock to satisfy the urgent need for medicines it faces. Similarly, the lack of milk for infants is quite worrying.
Our physicians provide the displaced persons with auscultation and first care, but providing them with medicines became very hard to us. Unfortunately, if medicines are being provided through donations, they are not evenly allocated and hardly obtained.
Thanks for your help, displaced persons will be treated in a better way, and the health crisis can be contained.
We count on you, displaced persons count on you.

Thank you for responding to our call.

Disaster-stricken Lebanon

This is an emergency call

To this day, there are nearly one million displaced persons in Lebanon.
Half a million are taken care of in collective centers and public spaces.
Almost as many are welcomed within individual homes…
This is a crucial situation, a humanitarian and health crisis…

About us:

In 1986, ILDES (Lebanese Institute for Economic and Social Development) is born out of an urgent need for the help of thousands of Lebanese displaced persons and refugees as a consequence of the wars that devastated Lebanon from 1975 till 1990.
Non Profit and Non Governmental Organization, ILDES has worked during and after the war for the Lebanese persons displaced from their original localities.

Among our most important goals:
- To allow the displaced persons to carry on living a dignified and fair life.
- To fight against the spreading of poverty.
- To promote an intercommunity dialogue.
- To help for return, reconstruction, and development.

Today the situation is repeating itself,
harder than before.
More than ever, and strong with experience, ILDES is seeking to rescue the displaced persons.

On the short run, ILDES provides emergency help (food, hygiene needs, medicines, household equipments, toys, books…)
On the medium run, ILDES is establishing lasting help in its working plan (schooling, sponsorship, reconstruction).

Your help and generosity are precious in cash or in kind.
