Humanity Unites Us

“Humanity unites us began as a one-off fundraiser to support initial relief efforts on the ground in Beirut post the port blast in August 2020. However, the positive reception to the fundraiser, coupled with revelations as to the severity of the situation and the overwhelming support Jordan has provided Lebanon with in the the past year has motivated us to do more. Hence, Humanity Unites Us, is a platform in tribute to coming together and solidarity that was born from tragedy.”

Right now, Humanity Unites Us is leading a medical donation drive – and has shipped 1 ton of medication, sanitary pads, formula and diapers to trusted organizations and initiatives for distribution to registered families and individuals in need. They have donated insulin to POG and test strips and continually strive to show their support whenever they get a chance!
