THE MEDICAL MISSION STARTED IN 2018 AND WAS EXTENDED INTO 2020 DUE TO THE HIGH PRESSING NEED FOR MEDICAL CARE, ESPECIALLY DURING THE PANDEMIC. TREATMENT OF PREVENTABLE ILLNESSES, LIKE CATARACTS, LOW VISION AND LOW HEARING, IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO LIFT PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY, ESPECIALLY FOR VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES LIKE REFUGEES LIVING IN MAKESHIFT ENVIRONMENTS. THEY REGAIN THEIR INDEPENDENCE AND CONFIDENCE TO APPROACH ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AND EDUCATION.GIFTS IN KINDUMR BOASTS A STRONG MEDICAL GIFT IN KIND SUPPLY CHAIN.

THE DAMAGE REQUIRED IMMEDIATE YET HIGHLY CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS. UMR QUICKLY DEPLOYED A DAMAGE ASSESSMENT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PRIVATE SECTOR, AND TOGETHER APPLIED A SEAMLESS AND EFFICIENT CASE MANAGEMENT PROCESS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AKKAROUNA ANDINSAN ASSOCIATIONS, OUR ARCHITECT TEAMS CONDUCTED FIELD VISITS TO CLASSIFY AND PRIORITIZE THE TYPES OF DAMAGE (I.E., A BROKEN WINDOW OR GLASS DOOR, A BENT OR DEFORMED FRAME, OR A FULLY DAMAGEDALUMINUM OR WOODEN DOOR OR WINDOW), THEN PROCEEDED WITH THE APPROPRIATE WINDOW GLASS PANE INSTALLATION. WHERE NECESSARY, SHELTER SOLUTIONS WERE OFFERED TO AFFECTED HOUSEHOLDS. IN OUR RESPONSE TO THE BEIRUT BLAST, WE HAVE APPLIED TWO NEW PROCESSES THAT HAVE RESULTED IN GREAT GAINS. FIRST, OUR HIGH-PROFILE ONLINE PRESENCE ALLOWED US TO RECEIVE MORE VOLUNTEERS WILLING TO HELP WITH THIS TRAGIC EVENT. SECOND, OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS OF HIGHLY SKILLED SUPPLIERS LED TO SAVINGS IN COST AND TIME TO DELIVERY.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.3M
