In Southern Lebanon, childhood has become a casualty of war. The laughter that once filled playgrounds has been replaced by silence — a silence born from fear, loss, and the weight of memories no child should ever carry. Since October 2023, waves of violence have displaced tens of thousands of [...]
At LIPPA, we don’t believe in charity. We believe in shared responsibility. In the idea that dignity, safety, and care are not luxuries for the lucky—they are rights. And often, what it takes to protect those rights is not a fortune, but a decision. A choice to act. Even in [...]
Education should be every child’s right—not a privilege reserved for a few. Yet across Equatorial Africa, the reality is starkly different. Children walk miles to schools without teachers. Some study under trees or in crumbling buildings with no electricity, books, or water. Girls face early marriage and unsafe journeys that [...]
In May 2025, LIPPA was honored to participate in the European Humanitarian Forum (EHF) in Brussels—a global gathering held amid escalating humanitarian needs, climate emergencies, and conflicts affecting more than 305 million people worldwide. This year’s edition of EHF focused on two critical themes: the integrated approach to fragility and [...]
At LIPPA, we believe that education is more than books and classrooms—it is the foundation of freedom, dignity, and opportunity. But in Equatorial Africa, this foundation is fragile. For many children, especially in rural and marginalized communities, the dream of education remains just that—a dream. Across Equatorial Africa, children walk [...]
In a broken world, hope is an act of resistance. At LIPPA, we’ve worked in Gaza under airstrikes, in Turkey after earthquakes, and in Ukraine during war. And in all these places, one thing keeps us going: hope. Not hope as an empty word. Not hope as a marketing slogan. [...]
In the town of Reyhanlı in Turkey’s Hatay province, Lippa’s “Weavers of Hope” project is transforming lives. From July to October 2024, this initiative has provided Syrian refugee women—many of whom are widows or the sole caregivers for their families—with more than just embroidery skills. Led by Ms. Madiha, an [...]
War doesn’t just destroy buildings—it takes away the ability to live with dignity. In Gaza, where conflict has left families without access to necessities, even something as simple as fresh food has become a luxury. Markets are empty, prices have soared, and many nutritious – meals are out of reach. [...]
In June 2024, Lippa launched the “Hospital Kidney Disease – Clean Drinking Water” project in Gaza, a beacon of hope amidst the region’s ongoing challenges. For patients battling kidney disease, clean drinking water isn’t just a luxury—it’s a lifeline. This initiative was driven by one goal: to ensure that the [...]
In humanitarian crises, hygiene is often overlooked—but it is essential. When families are forced into overcrowded shelters with limited access to clean water, staying healthy becomes a daily battle. Without basic hygiene supplies, the risk of infections and disease outbreaks increases, putting the most vulnerable—women, children, and the elderly—in even [...]
