Donation to help Lebanese Rotary Club Rebuilding Project in Beirut - Oct 2020

In August 2020, a massive explosion in the port in Beirut killed over 200 people and injured thousands. Many people lost their homes. Rotary is working with a Dutch NGO to help rebuilt and repair homes.


Following the lifechanging event of August 4th 2020, when over 200 people were killed and thousands injured, the Operation Florian UK team and the Rotary Club of Baabda immediately went into action! They ensured a team from UK based Search and Rescue Assistance in Disasters arrived within 3 days. Working in partnership with all the major authorities and the Lebanese Disaster Management Unit, SARAID coordinated specialist search and rescue work, including building damage assessments. 

The Beruit based Rotary Club of Baabda, alongside Save the Children, arranged emergency transport, accommodation, and other assistance. 

Now in partnership with the Dutch NGO DORCAS/Tabitha, the Rotary Club of Baabda plans to: 

  • Methodically repair houses, schools and small businesses and essential services like clean water, lighting etc. 
  • Start to regenerate local communities, especially in the historic parts of Beirut. 
  • Support displaced families and children with essential supplies 
  • Support the ongoing work of SARAID - essential in raising awareness to guard against any similar event in the future.

The Rotary Club of Rushen & Western Mann is joining with other Rotary Clubs in North West England to financially support this project.
