Supporting Basmeh & Zeitooneh 2019
Tax deductible
A MESSAGE FROM THE MALEK FAMILY:
To all of our friends and colleagues who have reached out to us over the past several years to ask us what you can do to alleviate the humanitarian crisis affecting Syria and its people, thank you.
Please join us in supporting Basmeh & Zeitooneh via the Smile & Olive Foundation: we believe in this wonderful organization and the great work they do with Syrian refugees in Lebanon. (Basmeh & Zeitooneh is Arabic for “a smile and an olive.”)
This is our fifth giving season supporting Basmeh & Zeitooneh. Thanks to your generosity and solidarity, during the 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 campaigns, we have (so far) raised over $28,000 for Basmeh & Zeitooneh.
The money we raise this year will go to the Education program. (For more details, click on link.) We are hoping to raise at least $3500.00. Let's do this!
Basmeh & Zeitooneh is a legally registered Lebanese charity based in Beirut, whose mission is to provide humanitarian support and assistance for Syrian refugees. Such relief efforts are ongoing on a significant scale, mainly in Lebanon, and to a lesser extent, in Turkey and Erbil - Iraq as well.
Smile & Olive Foundation supports the humanitarian relief efforts of Basmeh and Zeitooneh, by making financial grants from contributions raised in the United States.
