New Partnership with Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah

As Lebanon continues to face the impact of ongoing conflict, many children and families have been displaced or are living in increasingly difficult conditions, with limited access to essential care.


In response, Give a Child a Brighter Future has strengthened its efforts to provide urgent medical support and emergency relief, working in partnership with leading hospitals and specialists across the country.


As part of this work, the charity began collaborating with Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah and The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children's Fund, bringing together expertise in treating children affected by conflict. The partnership was first announced in this video presented during the Annual Bazaar luncheon in 2024, in response to the war in Lebanon and the growing number of children in need of specialised care.


The partnership focuses on both life-saving care and long-term recovery, including support for children in intensive care and those requiring reconstructive surgery, while also strengthening local healthcare capacity.

Supporting Displaced Children in Lebanon

April 6, 2026
As violence continues to escalate across Lebanon, hundreds of thousands of families have been forced to flee their homes with little warning. Among them are vast numbers of children, now displaced, vulnerable, and in urgent need of support. Across the country, families are seeking safety wherever they can. While some have found shelter in schools and public buildings, many others remain in temporary conditions, sleeping in cars or out in the open, often without reliable access to food, clean water, or basic supplies. Emergency Relief on the Ground In response to the crisis, Give a Child a Brighter Future is providing essential food and supplies to displaced families across Lebanon, helping to meet immediate needs. Food parcels are being distributed to sustain families during this period of uncertainty. Alongside this, baby nutrition remains a key priority, with infant milk and essential nourishment provided to ensure that even the youngest children receive the care they need. Basic baby essentials, including nappies and other daily necessities, are also being delivered to support families who have been forced to leave everything behind. These vital supplies provide not only relief, but also a sense of stability during extremely difficult circumstances.

Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Turkish Trauma & Emergency Hospital

March 20, 2026
Through its ongoing work in Lebanon, Give a Child a Brighter Future is helping strengthen emergency medical care for children by equipping a new Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the Turkish Trauma & Emergency Hospital, providing life-saving support to critically ill patients across the region. The hospital, which reopened in November 2024, had remained inactive for years due to local political challenges before being restored to address the critical shortage of hospitals in South Lebanon. Today, it stands as the only Trauma and Emergency Centre in the region, playing a vital role in delivering urgent care. Strengthening Emergency Care for Children At the heart of this effort is the newly equipped Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, designed to provide specialised care for children facing severe illness or injury. The unit includes five dedicated treatment rooms fitted with essential medical equipment, including respirators, patient monitoring systems, ultrasound imaging, and diagnostic tools, ensuring that children can receive the highest level of care when they need it most.
