📍Lebanon | Abed had already lost one leg to complications from diabetes. Then, when a strike hit his building, shrapnel took the other.

With prosthetic limbs, physical rehabilitation and financial support, made possible through our assistance programmes, he is rebuilding his independence.

Now, Abed is working towards opening a small shop to support him
