At 26 Letters we offer medical funds and humanitarian aid packages but we are still a young NGO and our resources are quite limited. To guarantee the well-being of all families, collaborations with other NGOs and associations are essential. The well-being department, or the “caring grandparents” as we call them, guarantees that our families are assisted in every possible way through our own programs or through referrals. When we are contacted by a family that either needs assistance in an area out of our scope or that lives outside Beirut, our caring granparents ensure that they are referred to another organization that can provide such help.While our team in Beirut works on purchasing, assembling and distributing our survival packages in Beirut, our online-based volunteers work on searching for alternative and collaborative ways to help.
Our caring grandparents protect our families and provide them with the love and care that they deserve.

ESPAÑOL:
En 26 Letters nos aseguramos de que nuestras personas beneficiarias vivan de manera digna mediante programas destinados a cubrir sus necesidades humanas fundamentales. En este sentido financiamos tratamientos y operaciones médicas y trabajamos muy duro para enviar paquetes de ayuda humanitaria a nuestras familias. Sin embargo, 26 Letters es una ONG pequeña y nuestros recursos son limitados. Es por esto que conseguir colaboraciones con otras entidades es fundamental y es de esto mismo de lo que se encarga el departamento de Bienestar. Nuestro equipo de “abuelitas cariñosas” (como nos llamamos entre nosotrxs) se encarga personalmente de que cada familia sea asistida de la mejor manera posible y de que sus necesidades sean atendidas a través de nuestros proyectos o de servicios de remisión de casos. Cuando una familia necesita ayuda en un área fuera de nuestro ámbito de actuación o cuando una familia que vive fuera de Beirut nos contacta, las abuelitas cariñosas se encargan de remitir su caso a una organización capaz de cubrir sus necesidades.
Nuestro equipo en Beirut se encarga de comprar, organizar y distribuir nuestros paquetes de ayuda humanitaria mientras que nuestro equipo online se encarga de encontrar maneras alternativas y colaborativas de ayudar.
Las abuelitas cariñosas protegen a nuestras familias dándoles el amor y cuidado que tanto merecen, ¡únete a ellas!
