Lebanon Rugby Disaster Fund

On Tuesday, a devastating explosion ripped through the heart of Beirut. It was heard as far away as Cyprus and measured 4.5 on the Richter scale. Hundreds of thousands of families have had their lives turned upside-down at a time when Lebanon already felt as if it was on a cliff edge, due to a spiralling economic crisis.

At Lebanon Rugby we are trying to live by our motto: One Nation. We want to help by organising rugby teams to get out on the streets, help with recovery, and support local charities.

We’re working with local NGOs and charities supporting recovery and providing food and shelter to those hardest hit. No money will go through government mechanisms.

Our men and women are already out on the streets helping while their own houses lie badly damaged.

We’re calling on the rugby community to pull together and help. Your funds will be used to directly support organisations and charities doing the most to help Beirut and Lebanon recover.

This go-fund-me is being managed by the board of the Lebanese Rugby Union Federation, which will ensure complete transparency.
