Rise Up Lebanon Action [RULA]

Mary’s Soup Kitchen Thanks

Thank you to those who helped support Mary’s Soup Kitchen through our online fundraiser and in-person dinner! Proceeds have already gone to help the soup kitchen and its volunteers feed needy and displaced families.

We are relieved that the war has receded from Lebanon but in the aftermath there is still a lot of work to be done to help vulnerable populations who have been impacted. If you are able you can donate using the “Donate Now” button above and please come back soon for information on our next fundraising campaign.

Rise Up Lebanon Action (RULA)

together we rise

In recent years we have seen economic collapse, COVID 19, the Beirut Port explosion and war weaken and devastate Lebanon and its people. All of these have both weakened and overwhelmed humanitarian services in the country. The political divisions have further hindered the Lebanese government’s ability to tackle the strain being placed on its economy and healthcare system. Many local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working on the ground are very effective contributors. RULA’s mission is to make a sustained effort to address the needs of those vulnerable to poverty and homelessness, uplifting lives, and rebuilding communities.

Our immediate goal is to address the overall wellbeing of Lebanese communities impacted by the war, port explosion, the pandemic, and the economic collapse via support to local NGOs focused on rebuilding homes, communities and small businesses. RULA vets all the organizations we work with and steers donations towards NGOs with verified high impact projects that will make the most difference for these struggling communities, allowing people to move back into their homes and help the communities focus on physical, mental, and economic recovery.

O lady of the world, O Beirut Rise from under the rubble, like an almond flower in April Cast off your grief Revolution is born out of grief Rise up in honor of the forests And the rivers And the valleys Rise up in the name of humanity

يا ستَّ الدنيا يا بيروتْ قومي من تحتِ الرَدمِ، كزهرةِ لوزٍ في نيسانْ قومي من حُزنكِ إنَّ الثورةَ تولدُ من رحمِ الأحزانْ قومي إكراماً للغاباتِ وللأنهارِ وللوديانِ قومي إكراماً للإنسانْ
