Lebanon Relief

The selfless and swift actions taken by AGBU volunteers and staff in Lebanon ensured that Lebanese Armenian community and the greater Lebanese community received sustenance and assistance. This work began in early 2020, but what followed after the August 4 blast was truly heroic. The escalated and continued efforts focused on rebuilding and supporting children and families has made an incredible impact on so many levels.  Berge Setrakian, President
