بدأت الجامعة الأميركية اللبنانية (LAU) رحلتها في عام 1924 ككلية للنساء أسسها المبشرون البريسبيتريان، وقد تطورت إلى منارة للتعليم العالي في لبنان، محافظة دائمًا على أعلى المعايير التعليمية الأميركية. اليوم، تواصل الجامعة تقليدها العريق في الخدمة، وتقدم برامج معترف بها عالميًا ومعتمدة في الولايات المتحدة وكندا وأوروبا. انضموا إلينا للاحتفال بتراث من التميز والابتكار. # قادة_التغيير #لبنان

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.

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.
