Gestures From The Heart is a group of volunteers from Zgharta, a village in Northern Lebanon, alarmed of the increasing rate of poverty and diminishing quality of life in our community. Gestures From The Heart perceives the need to take immediate action towards these disparities.
Gestures From The Heart initiative was first taken in Christmas 2011 by creating a group on Facebook called Christmas 2011 In Zgharta. The group has over a thousand member and still growing. The main objective of this group was fundraising to provide food packages for 100 families. The collected donations exceeded our expectations by far which enabled us to fund other projects throughout the year.
In August 2013 “Gestures From The Heart” was registered officially as a non- profit apolitical and non-religious organization in Lebanon.
Our mission is to give a helping hand to the unprivileged people by implementing programs to improve the quality of life and health and to reduce hunger and poverty. Our projects will target the abandoned elderly, deprived families with no or limited resources, children and widows.
