How You Can Help

Please pray for our Be in Peace team members, program graduates, and friends in Lebanon and all those around the world suffering the ravages of war. It seems heartbreakingly ironic that on the heels of our beautiful, heartfelt World Peace Day celebration, we have learned the tragic news of military conflict very near the location we held our festivities and where our Be in Peace team and program graduates live.

This report is from one of our team members in a message to Be in Peace President Renata Crescenzo in October, 2024:

"The conflict in Lebanon has expanded a lot. In the last two days, yesterday and this morning, and we could hear the sounds and feel the tremors of explosions that are shaking the rooms. There is no direct danger to us, thank God, but we do not know exactly what is happening. The situation is very tense, and people are in a state of panic and caution. We ask God for safety and security. We have not yet forgotten the calamities we have been through, and the effects they have had on us and our families. We are fine, my dear. Do not worry. We are preparing all the assistance we can provide to the affected families coming to Arsal, as much as we can (clothes, food, blankets...). I pray that things will calm down, the conflicts will be resolved, and the conflicting parties will reach peaceful solutions. Amen, Lord."

Please Help Support Our Peace Programs and Continue Majd's Work!

Our program goal is to raise $20,000 to run concurrent programs for women and children through the rest of 2024.. and all of 2025.  We estimate we can help more than 450 women and children between now and the end of next year. With your generous support, we can reach this goal and continue Majd's healing peace work. 

$50 can provide trauma relief training for a Mom along with a children's peacebuilding training for her kids. Give the gift of peace to those who have suffered so much.Help us to continue our work through the end of 2024 and all of 2025 with your tax-deductible gift, ensuring our program, in the next year, can serve more than 450 women and children in Arsal who deserve peace and ease in their lives. 

Our on the ground program costs to provide Be In Peace's free programs for the woman and children in the refugee camp of Arsal, Lebanon include:

• rent for the training facility

• free van transportation to and from the Program Center for each participant

• salary remuneration for the Program Facilitator and Program Coordinator

• gifts of basic needs and supplies such as food and hygiene products for each program participant

• facility and program utilities and supplies

• 7% administrative fee to our NGO partner

Any donation will help make an impact on improving lives, however ...

• Your tax-deductible gift of $50 will sponsor 1 mother and child to enroll in the Be in Peace's life enriching programs PLUS provide them with graduation gifts of items and supplies that are needed and appreciated

If 400 donors give a gift of $50, we will meet our program funding goal for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025.

If 200 donors give a gift of $100, we will meet our program funding goal for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025.

If 40 donors give a gift of $500, we will meet our program funding goal for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025.

If we are blessed enough to reach our $20,000 funding goal, anything we raise over the goal amount for this current program will go to funding our next Pilot Project, Be In Peace Stress Management Facilitator Training Program, which includes training for both online and in person Facilitators. The funding for this next pilot project will cover the cost of program development and translating the Train the Trainer Training Materials, as well as subsidizing the paid internships of the new Training Facilitators. But first, we need your help to keep this pilot program running by securing our program budget for 2025!

Thank you in advance for your generosity!
