SUpport sustainable food relief in lebanon
Since the Beirut explosion in August, over 300,000 people have lost their homes. This is in a country already broken by political corruption, with its economy in free fall, the battle against COVID-19 ongoing and the highest number of refugees per capita in the entire world.
We are responding to the Beirut blast. With the full endorsement of the Lebanese Foodbank, each of our ovens is capable of producing over 1,000 meals per day. Our plan is to greatly increase this reach by expanding our number of oven sites nationwide.
By its very nature, The Great Oven is uniquely positioned to provide assistance through this framework. Not only do we set up enduring networks but our ovens are permanent installations that belong to the communities in which they are based. As centres for cooking, teaching and sharing a meal, our ovens facilitate a creative and participatory experience that brings communities together and fosters social cohesion.
Where will your support go?
The Great Oven has self-funded its operations for over two years. We are proud of our self-sustainability but now feel it is time to grow. We can’t do this without your support.
Each kind donation will be used to fund our basic operational costs, all of which are listed below:
Production and installation of more community ovens in areas of critical need in Beirut and nationwide
Sourcing local food produce for each oven
Distribution of food beyond GO sites across the city
Oven transport and logistics
Thank you in advance for your kind support.
Your generosity means the world to us and to the people of Lebanon.
