Who we are
My Heart for Lebanon (قلبي للبنان) is a Lebanese non-governmental, non-profit organization officially established on 22 July 2021, under Notice No. 805 (علم وخبر رقم 805) issued by the Lebanese Ministry of Interior and Municipalities.
Born in Baalbek and the Bekaa, My Heart for Lebanon began with a commitment to serve local communities and empower young people. Its work subsequently expanded across Lebanon through health, education, humanitarian assistance, youth development, women empowerment, and civic initiatives.
Today, the organization operates through offices in Baalbek, Rayak, and Baabda–Hazmieh, while implementing programs and initiatives across Lebanon.
At the heart of everything we do is one fundamental belief:
Human dignity comes first.

A culture of peace
And we work to strengthen a culture of peace, acceptance, tolerance, dialogue, and respect for human dignity.

Since our establishment
Our activities
Youth Education & Leadership
Since its establishment, My Heart for Lebanon has organized academic workshops, training programs, and community initiatives for young people, particularly in Baalbek and the Bekaa.
Programs have addressed subjects including human rights, citizenship, public law, leadership, advocacy, communication, conflict resolution, peacebuilding, community organizing, and civic responsibility.
Our goal is not simply to educate young people, but to give them the tools to become leaders and positive agents of change within their communities.
10,000women screened
10,000 Women Breast Cancer Screening Initiative
One of the largest health initiatives undertaken by My Heart for Lebanon was a breast cancer screening campaign reaching approximately 10,000 women across Lebanon, conducted in coordination with LAU Medical Center.
The campaign promoted early detection and breast cancer awareness, while helping women access screening services across different Lebanese communities.
Early detection saves lives.
2,000+children screened
Children’s Heart Screening Campaign
My Heart for Lebanon has also conducted a major pediatric cardiovascular health initiative, reaching more than 2,000 children through cardiac screening and awareness activities.
The program focuses on the early identification of potentially serious heart conditions and on educating families about cardiovascular health, warning signs, and the prevention of sudden cardiac death.
Our objective is to bring preventive medicine directly into communities and reach children before an undiagnosed condition becomes an emergency.
Women Empowerment & Entrepreneurship
My Heart for Lebanon believes that empowering women strengthens entire communities.
In collaboration with the YWCA, the organization organized an initiative around Lebanese Independence Day supporting Lebanese women entrepreneurs and women-led small businesses.
The initiative provided women with an opportunity to present their products, promote their businesses, expand their networks, and strengthen their economic participation.
Our women empowerment programs seek to transform skills into opportunities and opportunities into independence.
30+refugee centers & communities
Refugee & Humanitarian Support
My Heart for Lebanon has reached more than 30 refugee centers and vulnerable communities, providing assistance according to identified humanitarian needs.
Our interventions have included medical assistance, medications, food support, essential supplies, health awareness, and medical referrals.
Our approach is based on providing assistance while protecting the dignity of every individual and family we serve.
Ramadan & Easter Initiatives
Lebanon’s diversity is part of its identity.
During Ramadan, Easter, and other national and community occasions, My Heart for Lebanon has organized food campaigns, distributions, family assistance, and solidarity initiatives.
Compassion has no sect, religion, or political identity.

Looking ahead
Our vision
We envision a Lebanon where young people choose knowledge over ignorance, dialogue over violence, tolerance over division, and participation over indifference.
- A Lebanon where children have the opportunity to grow up healthy.
- A Lebanon where women have the opportunity to lead, create, work, and achieve economic independence.
- A Lebanon where vulnerable people are protected rather than forgotten.
- And a Lebanon where differences do not divide its people, but enrich a society built on peace, citizenship, human dignity, and mutual respect.
Because Lebanon is more than a place we belong to. It is a responsibility we share.
- Together, we educate.
- Together, we protect.
- Together, we empower.
- Together, we build peace.
