El Khalil Foundation

Who We Are

EL Khalil Foundation (EKF), is a Non-Profit NGO, established by the El-Khalil Family in 2003 with the purpose of assisting the people of Hasbaya District through various programs that will help improve conditions on personal, social and business levels.

History

Hasbaya District located on the South Eastern boarder of the Country, suffered more than most Lebanese districts.
The District of Hasbaya was for over 40 years a battle field of the forces that occupied it, forcing its population into isolation from the rest of Lebanon and the whole world, and bringing about untold hardships.

The Israeli occupation lasted for over 20 years within which time it was almost impossible to go into or leave that land, until the area was liberated in 2000.

As a result, not only did the population suffer very harsh economic conditions, but they also suffered lack of educational and cultural exchange with the rest of the country and the world…not mentioning the suffering they all endured in the deprivation of their freedom..
This has resulted in hardships, suffering and a “quazi Imprisonment”that has disadvantaged communities located throughout the District.
According to the 2014 UN Report, Lebanon ranked 67th out of 188 countries on the Human Development Index. Yet it is important to note that although it is ranked as a medium-income country, this index doesn’t take into consideration the economic, social and humanitarian stress endured as a result of the presence of over a million and a half Syria refugees.

In view of these historic conditions, and the dire need of the people in the District on the Economic, social and cultural levels, The El Khalil Foundation resolved to assist as and where it is able to focusing primarily on the Three Pillars mentioned in its programs and extending its outreach to assist where and when it can.
