Help Us Rise is a community-focused initiative of The Beirut Foundation, dedicated to supporting individuals and families across Lebanon. The initiative works by directing resources to trusted local organizations and community-led efforts, ensuring that support is meaningful, grounded, and responsive to real needs. Its approach is collaborative, partnership-based, and centered on long-term community well-being.
On this Labor Day, we recognize the people across Lebanon who continue showing up, working, and supporting their communities—often in the most challenging circumstances.
From those providing essential services to those quietly helping others move forward, their work sustains more than livelihoods—it sustains dignity and resilience.
Today, we acknowledge their effort, their commitment, and the strength it takes to keep going.

This Easter, we hold close the meaning of renewal, even in difficult times.
In the story of Easter, we are reminded that light is not absent in darkness—it endures through it.
Across Lebanon, we think of all those holding on with hope, supporting one another, and continuing forward with strength and dignity.
May this Easter bring moments of peace, comfort, and hope.

في هذا العيد، نتمسّك بمعنى القيامة والتجدّد، حتى في الأوقات الصعبة.
تذكّرنا قصة الفصح أنّ النور لا يغيب في الظلمة، بل يبقى حاضرًا فيها.
في مختلف أنحاء لبنان، نفكّر بكل من يتمسّك بالأمل، ويساند من حوله، ويواصل المضي قدمًا.
نتمنّى أن يحمل هذا العيد لحظات من السلام والراحة، والأمل.

On August 4, 2020, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in modern history struck Beirut, causing loss of life, widespread damage, and long-lasting impact on its communities. In response, Thomas A. Abraham launched Help Us Rise as a direct relief initiative to support those affected. From its earliest efforts, the initiative focused on funding and strengthening local organizations and on-the-ground partners who were already embedded in the neighborhoods they served.
During its first year, Help Us Rise operated under the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, chaired by Thomas. In 2021, recognizing the need for sustained and structured support, Thomas founded The Beirut Foundation as an independent, non-political organization committed to the well-being of individuals and communities in Beirut and throughout Lebanon.
Today, Help Us Rise continues as one of The Beirut Foundation’s key initiatives, evolving from emergency relief into ongoing community support, capacity-building, and long-term partnership-based development.

The Beirut Foundation works through partnerships, collaboration, and shared responsibility.
Where there is community, there is resilience. Where there is resilience, there is hope.
