QRCS, Lebanon's social affairs ministry launch ‘Road to Stability' drive phase 2
Tribune News Network Doha With funding from Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) and Lebanon's Ministry of Social Affairs, phase 2 of the 'Road to Stability'—an initiative aimed at supporting the poorest Lebanese families affected by the recent war on Lebanon—has been launched. The overall purpose of the project is to enhance the financial stability of the most vulnerable Lebanese and Syrian families in Lebanon. Earlier, phase 1 had been completed for the benefit of Syrian refugee families in Lebanon, in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). This newly launched phase, which focuses on the affected Lebanese families, is funded by QFFD and implemented in partnership with Lebanon's Ministry of Social Affairs. Based on regular assessments and surveys conducted by the ministry to identify the most affected people, 3,325 Lebanese families were selected to receive monthly cash aid for three months. It is another episode of the constructive collaboration between QRCS and Lebanon's Ministry of Social Affairs as part of the country's social safety net programmes, designed to empower the families most in need and enhance their resilience. The launch of phase 2 was held under the patronage of HE Sheikh Saud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar's Ambassador to Lebanon. During the ceremony, the participants expressed their hope that this cooperation would serve as an effective model for unified humanitarian efforts, thanks to the generous support from QFFD and close coordination among Lebanon's Ministry of Social Affairs, QRCS, and other humanitarian partners in Lebanon. In his keynote speech on behalf of QFFD, HE Sheikh Saud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said, 'This project comes at a time when Lebanon is experiencing critical circumstances, which entails lending a hand for the country to come through the recent crises and wars. The project's name indicates the importance of stability sought by all the Lebanese people, as well as Qatar's keenness to preserve it with unlimited support, for Lebanon to further pursue progress and recovery.' Hanin Al-Sayed, Lebanon's Minister of Social Affairs, stated, 'I would like to express my deep appreciation to QRCS, which has always been committed to professional and dignity-respecting humanitarianism. We owe a debt of gratitude to QFFD and the government and people of Qatar for this significant contribution, which is a testimony to the humanitarian, social, economic, and developmental ties between our two nations'. Mohamed Ahmed Al-Beshri, assistant secretary-general for communication and fundraising at QRCS, commented, 'This project is not just a technical intervention or financial support. It is a true manifestation of our humanitarian and fraternal responsibility towards the families who suffer from harsh living conditions. Human dignity is indivisible. Standing up for the most vulnerable people is a moral duty underlying our institutional endeavors. We at QRCS believe that sustainable partnerships built on mutual trust are the solid foundation for any successful humanitarian intervention. We are proud of our strong partnership with Lebanon's Ministry of Social Affairs and highly value the substantial and continuous contributions by QFFD, our strategic and permanent partner in the humanitarian journey.'
