URDA Lebanon

URDA, Union of Relief and Development Associations, is a Lebanese non-governmental organization dedicated to ensuring the human rights of the most vulnerable groups in Lebanon. In June 2012, the Syrian refugee crisis reached its peak in Lebanon. Immediately, thirty humanitarian non-governmental organizations felt the need to coordinate their humanitarian efforts under one strong umbrella, thus paving the way for the Union of Relief and Development Associations to be born. URDA provides its services through seven different humanitarian sectors: • Shelter • Relief • Healthcare • Education • Protection • Development • Sponsorship
