How will we allocate the funds raised?

We need to step up!

Beirut Relief Initiative is a project launched by GCNL in response to the ongoing crisis. The Initiative aims to contribute to the livelihood of our community through supporting SMEs.

We have developed criteria to assess the needs of SME’s, on the one hand, and a tool to much these needs with the donations provided by other private-sector entities. These donations can take the form of funds, in-kind donations or training programs.

Today, 60% of Lebanese businesses are unable to resume operations without our support. Help us restore SMEs, a vital element of the country’s economy.

Challenges were already mounting for Lebanese entrepreneurs and businesses before the Beirut blast on August 4th: Political instability, capital controls, a destabilized economy, lack of visibility and an unstoppable pandemic. 90% of Lebanon’s businesses consist of SMEs and they contribute up to 50% to the country’s GDP. GCNL is leveraging on the power of UNCG’s international private sector members (more precisely, its Multinational Corporations) to support the struggling yet indispensable sector.
