Annual Report 2025

1-EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In 2025, Lebanese Social Responsibility LSR reached over 92,000 individuals across Lebanon through integrated humanitarian and early recovery interventions addressing food insecurity, protection risks, livelihoods collapse, and youth exclusion amid protracted economic crisis, displacement, and post-war recovery needs.

LSR implemented a multi-sectoral response combining food security, protection (GBV & CP) livelihoods and economic empowerment, youth engagement, and community infrastructure rehabilitation. Interventions prioritized women, children, internally displaced persons (IDPs), war-affected populations, and host communities, with a strong focus on dignity, local ownership, and sustainability.

Within this context, LSR focused on life-saving assistance while strengthening community resilience and recovery pathways, aligning its interventions with the humanitarian–development nexus promoted by EU and UN donors.
