Our mission

Helping children. Supporting poor families.

Child help

No child should lose their education because of money. We help pay school instalments and support children’s wellbeing, so they can stay in school and build a better future.

Aid for poor families

Many families in Lebanon can no longer cover their basic needs. We provide direct aid to poor families and to those who struggle in silence — helping with everyday essentials, medical bills and urgent needs.

Who we are

Kindness, put into action.

Goodness is a non-political, not-for-profit association based in Lebanon.

Lebanon’s economic crisis has pushed many families to choose between school fees, medicine and food. Too many children have left school as a result. We exist to change that — one child, one family at a time.

We work quietly and personally with each family, many of whom have never asked for help before. Every donation is used for the association’s purpose, and our accounts are filed each year with the Ministry of Interior.

What we do

Four ways we stand beside families

Our work follows the four goals written into our founding statutes.

Back to school

We help children and students pay their school instalments, so no child has to leave the classroom because a family can’t afford the fees.

Families in need

We fight poverty and improve daily life for children and their families — especially the quiet, proud families who rarely ask for help.

Medical care

We help cover medical treatment and hospital care for people who cannot afford it, when it matters most.

Special needs

We support children and adults with special needs and their families, helping them access the care and services they need.

Get involved

Small acts, lasting change

There is more than one way to be part of Goodness.

1

Give once or monthly

A bank transfer of any size goes straight to school fees, medical bills and family support. Monthly gifts help us plan a full school year.

2

Sponsor a student

Cover a child’s school instalments for a term or a full year and give them the stability to keep learning.

3

Volunteer or partner

Schools, clinics, companies and individuals: lend your time, skills or services. Every hand makes a difference.

Transparency

Registered, accountable, and open about how we work.

Goodness is officially licensed by the Lebanese Ministry of Interior and Municipalities and registered with the Ministry of Finance. We file our accounts every year, and our board is elected by our general assembly.
