History
The outbreak of war in Syria in 2011 called us to action. With a foundation in non-profit work and determination to help people, we established WAM to address the Syrian refugee crisis in Lebanon.
As we witnessed the dramatic surge of refugees, we saw firsthand how local groups, non-profits, churches, and NGOs were overwhelmed by escalating demands. Determined to make a difference, we started by coordinating the shipment of essential supplies-multiple 40-foot containers filled with medical items and clothing-to Lebanon and organizing their distribution on the ground.
What began as logistical support soon expanded into a broader mission. We quickly adapted to include distributing food, clothing, and shelter. By 2015, the strain on our local partners was undeniable, highlighting the critical need for psychological support. Collaborating with a prominent traumatologist, we initiated training for local workers to better serve the psychological needs of refugees. In 2017, we extended our support to include one-day, overnight, and trauma-healing camps for refugee children.
In recent years, WAM has made the shift from supplying emergency aid only to implementing sustainable solutions for intractable problems. Our multi-layered approach rushes urgent relief to impacted populations, followed by a sustained response that delivers people out of crisis and into self-determined futures.
Our commitment is ongoing. We continuously engage with our partners to identify and respond to the most urgent needs. We are grateful to everyone who has joined us in this mission to transform the lives of children and families enduring crisis.
