Lebanon

Lebanon has moved from one crisis into another, with little room to recover in between. Years of currency collapse and political paralysis have emptied household savings and hollowed out public services, while the country also hosts more refugees relative to its own population than almost any other in the world. Its electricity sector has struggled financially for years, and the state now provides as little as 2-4 hours of power a day. This is has pushed people toward diesel generators but running those are costly and sensitive to global oil shocks.

WHAT WE DO

How we support

Across Lebanon, fuel prices and medical shortages put patients at risk every day.
Aid Pioneers works with Lebanese and international partners to install solar power in hospitals and schools, replacing the diesel that drains their budgets and ensures a reliable supply of clean energy.
Alongside that, we deliver the medical supplies that keep patients alive, even where shortages run deep.

Enabling more learning for refugee students

Four schools and a disability center run by our local partner Al Manhaj were stuck paying for expensive diesel generators, a cost that limited how many children they could enroll, many of them Syrian refugees or from low-income Lebanese and Palestinian families. Together with our partners, we installed off-grid solar systems ranging from 15 to 28 kWp across Dar International School, Darb Al Tabbaneh School, Lycée Modern and the Ability Center, eliminating their dependence on diesel.

Powering Lebanon's busiest clinics in the Bekaa valley

MAPs runs two of the busiest clinics in Lebanon's Bekaa valley, treating more than 8,000 patients and delivering 12,000 medical services every month, though the national grid supplies only around two hours of electricity a day and diesel costs had climbed past $3,000 a month. Together with our partner MAPs, and with discounted solar equipment sourced through Enpal, we installed two complete solar systems, our first for a medical facility and our largest installation to date, giving the clinics a stable, independent power supply.
