Lebanon's Resilience: Royal House of Ghassan Leads Global Efforts to Empower Communities A

BEIRUT - April 2, 2025 - PRLog -- Lebanon stands at a critical juncture, grappling with profound economic challenges and escalating regional tensions, intensified by last year's heartbreaking airstrikes that claimed countless lives. Currently, over 1.3 million individuals are displaced, many seeking refuge across the border in Syria, and nearly 1.2 million children are deprived of access to education. As the nation endures a relentless financial crisis, a significant portion of its citizens find themselves living in desperate poverty. Yet, the recent election of President Gen. Joseph Aoun and the appointment of Hon. Judge Nawaf Salam as Prime Minister have ignited a spark of hope, promising a brighter auspicious political horizon. Nevertheless, urgent matters demand immediate attention.

In this spirit of solidarity, the Royal House of Ghassan (https://www.royalghassan.org/) and The One Voice Foundation have united with Caritas Lebanon— the official Catholic organization responsible for global charitable logistics—alongside two supportive European partners: SOS World (https://sosworld.be/) from Belgium and Gebende Hände (https://www.gebende-haende.de/) (Giving Hands) from Germany. Together, they have become a lifeline for those affected, delivering essential food and aid to families in need.

The "Food for Lebanon" campaign has been nothing short of remarkable, successfully distributing over 1,000 food parcels—each designed to sustain a family for a month—to more than 600 vulnerable Lebanese families, ultimately supporting over 3,000 lives.

The Royal House of Ghassan, led internationally by HIRH Prince Gharios El Chemor of Ghassan Al-Numan VIII, extends its reach to Lebanese communities and Syrian, Jordanian, Iraqi, Palestinian, and Egyptian families in need. This time-honored royal tradition, spanning nearly two millennia, remains deeply resonant. With an official branch recognized by presidential decree 5800/2019, the Royal House also nurtures its sister organization, The One Voice Foundation. Founded in 2019, it's part of the "One Voice for Christians" initiative by the Royal House of Ghassan, and it's led by Mr. Antoine Kalaydjian, President and CEO. The board features TIRH Prince Gharios and Prince Sheikh Selim El Chemor, and the foundation has worked closely with the Lebanese and Armenian governments as well as the Catholic Church through Caritas.

The One Voice Foundation has undertaken many transformative humanitarian initiatives in partnership with Caritas Lebanon and France, and provided an astounding $500,000' worth of baby formula to families in Lebanon, a testament to its impactful outreach.

As the Royal House of Ghassan looks to the future, it embarks on a new journey to become an Intergovernmental Organization (IGO), expanding its invaluable support to all five continents. This mission not only embodies a commitment to humanitarianism but also reinforces the enduring bonds of unity and compassion across the globe.
