Project desciption
Blue Mission is partnering with IDEALS for the Karma project. Karma (Arabic
for “dignity”) is an initiative targeting refugee and host communities
in the informal settlements of Lebanon’s South and Mount Lebanon
Governorates, providing aid to women and their families. The
programme entails outreach to refugee and host populations living in
informal settlements in the South and Mount Lebanon to assess the mental
and physical health needs of their residents, with an emphasis on women
and their children. The outreach staff will perform exams, provide
antenatal care to pregnant women and educate the community on a myriad
of important subjects; contraceptives and family planning tools will be
made available to women who would like to prevent or space out
pregnancies. Beneficiaries who need counselling will be referred to the
Blue Mission Centre for psychosocial intervention. The project will be
staffed by a midwife, psychologists, art and drama therapists, a social
worker, administrative staff and community liaisons who will aid in
building trust and partnerships with the refugee community, the local
Lebanese host population and leaders, be they municipal, informal or
religious.
