About
See schedule. We have been serving Lebanese and refugees with disabilities throughout Lebanon during the last two years. WRF in Lebanon has been implementing the project 'Filling Assistance Gaps in Basic Rehabilitation Services for Syrian Refugees with Disabilities and Their Peers in Host Communities in Lebanon'. This project is funded by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM) to provide direct and indirect essential assistance to people with disabilities. The project targets five different regions of the country, by working with local community-based organizations (CBOs), native professional service providers, and in coordination and partnership with concerned governmental organizations, activists, and international organizations and the UN agencies to provide community-based rehabilitation (CBR) services to refugees and the local community. WRF is a leading organization in coordination of efforts to help people with disabilities and elderly populations in the country. The program has served 2,794 people with disabilities (including 1784 Syrian refugees, 877 Lebanese, and 133 other nationalities) providing 83 prosthetic devices, 143 orthoses, 794 rehabilitation aids and self/home care supplies, 418 physical and occupational therapy services, 25 basic home/care alterations, 258 hearing aids and 1064 prescription eyeglasses and 32 visual aids (mainly white canes). The CBR programs were instrumental in securing services for 957 persons with disabilities. Direct assistance was provided as follows: 686 people received rehabilitation aids and self-care supplies, 25 benefited from basic home adaptations, and 248 people received physical and/or occupational therapy. 188 persons with disabilities were identified as needing psychological support services. 173 individuals (92%) were referred to other service providers to receive special services. Eight structured training programs on disability, CBR, mental health and psychosocial support, community awareness and advocacy were conducted benefiting 310 community members. In addition, WRF completed an eight-months program 'Alleviating the Burdens of Displacement on Persons with Disabilities from Syria and Their Peers in Lebanese Host Communities' funded by United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN-OCHA)/Lebanon Humanitarian Fund (LHF). The program served 1,023 people with disabilities (including 694 Syrian refugees, 276 Lebanese, and 53 other nationalities) with: 350 providing rehabilitation and mobility aids and disposable and non-disposable home care products, 93 physical and occupational therapy sessions, 160 hearing aids and launch of speech therapy sessions, 420 visual aids, including prescription eyeglasses and white canes.
