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.
