Fundraising Campaign by Beirut Synthesizer Center and Tunefork Studios for Humanitarian Relief in Lebanon
Lebanon-based music organisations Beirut Synthesizer Center and Tunefork Studios have joined forces to launch a crowdfunding initiative aimed at providing support for humanitarian relief efforts in Lebanon.
Support for Displaced Families
The crowdfunder is focused on assisting families who have been displaced in Lebanon due to ongoing bombardment from Israel, resulting in the tragic loss of more than 2,000 lives, as reported by Lebanon’s Health Ministry.
The Lebanese government estimates that up to 1.2 million individuals have been internally displaced, while the OCHA warns that the humanitarian situation is rapidly deteriorating.
Phase One of the Fundraiser
Beirut Synthesizer Center and Tunefork Studios initiated phase one of the fundraising campaign on September 27, appealing for donations that will be utilized to provide essential items for those affected by displacement.
Donations will be allocated towards purchasing mattresses, blankets, pillows, food, baby formula, and sanitary supplies for those impacted by the ongoing crisis.
Current Progress and Impact
As the fundraiser progresses into its third phase, Beirut Synthesizer Center and Tunefork Studios have proudly announced that nearly $60,000 has been raised, enabling them to deliver bedding and basic necessities to thousands of individuals.
In a joint statement on October 7, they expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support received from musician friends worldwide, emphasizing the increasing demand for assistance due to continuous bombardment and evacuation mandates in various regions of Lebanon.
Continued Efforts and Contributions
The organizations thanked donors for their generous monetary contributions, as well as substantial donations of sanitary products and solar batteries to sustain operations in the absence of electricity.
Volunteers are working tirelessly to distribute essential supplies to those displaced, with a commitment to addressing urgent needs promptly.
