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.
For years, families in Jdeidet El Fekha lived beside a spring they could not fully reach. Two years of drought turned that daily challenge into a threat to their farms and futures.
Today, thanks to SEAL, a new 1.8 km water network connects that spring to the people who need it most.
We're sharing this story because it matters — and because partners like SEAL are doing the quiet, essential work that Lebanon needs right now.

لسنوات، عاشت عائلات في جديدة الفقحا إلى جانب ينبوع لم يتمكنوا من الاستفادة منه. وقد حوّل عامان من الجفاف هذا التحدي اليومي إلى تهديد حقيقي لمزارعهم ومستقبلهم.
اليوم، وبفضل "سيل" من أجل لبنان، يمتد خط مياه جديد بطول 1.8 كيلومتر ليوصل مياه الينبوع إلى من يحتاجها.
نشارككم هذه القصة لأنها مهمة — ولأن شركاء مثل "سيل" يقومون بالعمل الصامت والضروري الذي يحتاجه لبنان اليوم.

Leo XIV met with His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Armenian Apostolic Church – See of Cilicia, at the Vatican—assuring him of his daily prayers and deep concern for the Lebanese and the Churches of the Middle East. The Catholicosate, headquartered in Antelias, Lebanon since 1930, holds a cherished place in Lebanon's story of faith and coexistence.
Lebanon is not forgotten.

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.
