An aid and relief effort to embrace and help the people of Beirut recover and rebuild their homes, livelihoods, and lives, that were shattered after the massive devastating explosion that destroyed swathes of the capital city on August 4, 2020.
A year and a half ago, our friends at SEAL and the Municipality of Berbara planted 550 carob trees across 25,000 m² of restored land—laying down roots for long-term economic growth and sustainable agriculture.
At Help Us Rise, we proudly celebrate SEAL’s continued progress toward a greener, stronger Lebanon—and we are honored to count SEAL among the NGOs we support.

Lebanese climate advocate, athlete, and UNDP Regional Goodwill Ambassador Michael Haddad continues to challenge limits and inspire global action.
At the Royal Palace of Belgium, Michael presented his Awake Walk campaign to Her Majesty the Queen—a daring mission to walk 100 kilometers across the Arctic in an exoskeleton, raising awareness about climate change and food security.
His journey is one of resilience, purpose, and power in motion—embodying the spirit of rising against all odds.
At Help Us Rise, we celebrate Lebanese voices making a difference far beyond borders.

On the 4th of August 2020, one of the biggest non-nuclear blasts in history hit Lebanon’s capital city Beirut, inflicting widespread devastation and causing immense suffering. Miami based philanthropist and businessman of Lebanese origins, Thomas G. Abraham, reached out to friends and alliances around the world so that they join hands in offering aid and relief to the people of Lebanon through the Help Us Rise initiative.
During its first year, the initiative was supported and managed by the Anthony R. Abraham Foundation, chaired by Thomas G. Abraham. A year after the blast, he founded The Beirut Foundation to respond to the increasing crises Lebanon is facing. Today, the Help Us Rise initiative is managed by The Beirut Foundation as one of its main projects.
