We are a small, non-profit animal welfare association in Switzerland, which together with our local partner BETA (Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) tries to reduce the animal suffering in Lebanon and to continue to provide for the more than 1200 animals under our care despite adverse conditions.

ONG libanaise (#205/AD) également enregistrée aux USA (501(c)3 #83-2075807) Nous avons actuellement dans notre refuge plus de 1'100 animaux (860 chiens, 230 chats, 2 singes, 3 chevaux, 1 âne, des lapins et tortues. La situation au Liban étant catastrophique nous manquons cruellement de tout et avons désespérément besoin d'aide extérieur afin de pouvoir continuer à nous occuper de nos petits protégés qui ont pour la plupart vécu l'enfer avant que nous les sauvions.

At the age of 19, Janira met Salah. Salah came from Syria and, at the age of 13, he was selling flowers on the Lebanese streets to survive. He couldn't go to public school so Janira created one for him. They called it 26 Letters. Our school now helps 450 families through education, medical assistance and the provision of basic products. Our families have survived a war, the explosion in Beirut and Covid-19. Now they face extreme poverty. Help them survive!
