Dr Shaheed Walji is fundraising for Shaam / Lebanon

• Rise For Shaam

This Ramadan, Rise Support is launching Rise for Shaam. An urgent humanitarian appeal to support vulnerable families, refugees, and orphaned children across Lebanon and Syria, two regions enduring prolonged conflict, displacement, and deepening poverty.

For over a decade, the people of Shaam have faced war, economic collapse, and forced displacement. Millions of families now rely on aid simply to survive. In Lebanon, the economic crisis has devastated livelihoods, while in Syria, years of conflict have left entire communities without stable access to food, education, or shelter.

This Ramadan, your support can restore dignity, stability, and hope to those who have lost almost everything.
