LEBANON 

I See You 

In 2020, the Beirut port explosion tragically claimed 200 lives and left over 6,000 injured, further deepening Lebanon's crisis. This devastation, coupled with the emotional and physical scars it left on the population, especially the youth, has left many feeling hopeless and uncertain about the future. With the government offering minimal support, many have had to navigate their trauma alone.

More recently, the violence between Israel and Lebanon has escalated, further contributing to an atmosphere of instability. For Lebanon's youth, this war— marked by sporadic violence, loss, and uncertainty—has only intensified feelings of fear and helplessness. With so many young people living in a constant state of insecurity, their dreams and aspirations remain distant, and their emotional and mental well-being is deeply affected.

The need for healing, hope, and perspective among Lebanon’s youth has never been greater.

 

The I SEE YOU project, in partnership with LOYAC, aims to address this critical gap by providing a space for therapeutic healing through music theater. In 2025, the project will work with two groups of vulnerable youth—refugees and Lebanese youth—offering them a platform for self- expression and recovery. The project will culminate in a performance that will serve as both a therapeutic experience for the participants and a source of healing for the wider community.

In addition, LOYAC will mentor other organizations to ensure the continuity of the project after its completion. A volunteer musician from LOYAC will be trained to help sustain this initiative, ensuring that the positive impact continues long after the initial project phase.
