Blind and Disabled
Help for the blind and disabled in Lebanon
The small country Lebanon has experienced a lot of suffering in recent decades. Civil war, economic crisis, corruption and the civil war in neighboring Syria have caused the country a lot of trouble. Hundreds of thousands of refugees came into the country. Those who suffer most under these circumstances are those who cannot help themselves, for example the disabled and the blind. They are considered absolute outsiders in society. Therefore, Call of Hope takes special care of these people.
A training center and a tent school
In 2007, Call of Hope was able to set up a special training center in the Bekaa Plateau. Many blind and other disabled Muslims find care here and are trained in various skills: they learn Braille, receive mobility training, are trained in the use of computers and learn basket weaving and pottery to make a living. Our team also runs a tent school for blind and visually impaired Syrian refugee children in a refugee camp.
