In middle-income countries, children with hearing loss/deafness can’t access (quality) education. Deaf adults are more likely to remain unemployed and reliant on others. By 2050, 1 in 10 people will have disabling hearing loss. This is why Embrace works alongside the Learning Centre for the Deaf and the Deaf Unit to further the rights and understanding of deaf people. https://embraceme.org/news-1/pope-francis-iraq-visit monthly 0.5 2023-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/1614940091398-MEJTG1DKZ5T7NEM6DSNE/image-asset.jpeg Our News - Pope Francis Concludes Historic Iraq Visit https://embraceme.org/news-1/international-disabilities-day monthly 0.5 2023-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/1607441279326-GGAB2WNISZG6EFJOVBAY/IMG_20180202_114757.jpg Our News - Embrace celebrates International Disabilities Day https://embraceme.org/news-1/international-womens-day-speech monthly 0.5 2020-12-23 https://embraceme.org/news-1/karate-kid monthly 0.5 2023-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/1588597708807-AOS1FIEWE6U6WM13FWOF/image-asset.jpeg Our News - International Women’s Day 2020: Egypt's ‘Karate Kid’ https://embraceme.org/news-1/tag/news monthly 0.5 https://embraceme.org/news-1/tag/politics monthly 0.5 https://embraceme.org/news-1/tag/Nakba+75 monthly 0.5 https://embraceme.org/news-1/tag/advocacy monthly 0.5 https://embraceme.org/news-1/tag/international+womens+day monthly 0.5 https://embraceme.org/news-1/tag/2020 monthly 0.5 https://embraceme.org/news-1/tag/Israel%2FPalestine+Conflict monthly 0.5 https://embraceme.org/news-1/tag/Nakba monthly 0.5 https://embraceme.org/blog daily 0.75 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/1627046354044-B8GP8RD7S0SRRAU6SWRV/Logo1.png Blog - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://embraceme.org/blog/keeping-hope-alive-as-the-world-shakes-beneath-our-feet monthly 0.5 2026-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/d3a3c2b0-3c16-4dfd-8ac3-6a6550f3f983/Emergency+Appeal+sq.jpg Blog - Keeping hope alive as the world shakes beneath our feet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/5222d9d8-6ef0-423f-9464-ebaa3ca2a07e/7+Days+of+Prayer.png Blog - Keeping hope alive as the world shakes beneath our feet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/38fabb15-042d-4b12-a5e3-d839ac8e5256/Stop+the+Escalation+advocacy+logo.jpg Blog - Keeping hope alive as the world shakes beneath our feet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/3be32863-636e-466e-a455-d367af858359/Tahaddi+8.jpg Blog - Keeping hope alive as the world shakes beneath our feet - One-month into the war - Embrace speaks out on the impact https://embraceme.org/blog/from-a-mustard-seed-of-faith-to-a-community-dairy-helping-displaced-families-amid-war-in-lebanon monthly 0.5 2026-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/f2977422-0d5d-4c18-a1b9-cc9d932f5703/2023-2024_Sustainable+agriculture+sq.jpg Blog - From a mustard seed of faith to a community dairy helping displaced families amid war in Lebanon - Make it stand out When the project first began, the farm’s dairy herd numbered just 9 cows and their milk was sold to help fund the rest of the farm. But Rahbeh church community soon realised that turning the milk into cheese and other dairy products would be a better use of the resource – creating more employment opportunities and increasing profitability. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/a2d6f18a-773d-487e-8428-fcc73edc5436/Rahbe+dairy+2.jpg Blog - From a mustard seed of faith to a community dairy helping displaced families amid war in Lebanon - Make it stand out They began producing cheese in the church kitchen.

Today the herd has grown to 36 and produces around 500 litres of milk per day – necesitating the purchase of a second milking machine to cope with the increase! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/4a4ff7bc-315c-4b1b-8bd3-f88094eb44b1/2025+2026_MERATH+Lebanon_Sustainable+agriculture_Dairy+production+training+%2813%29+sq.jpg Blog - From a mustard seed of faith to a community dairy helping displaced families amid war in Lebanon - Make it stand out As the dairy production expanded, so too did the employment opportunities.

Studying during conflict, with frequent internet and electricity cuts, has been difficult, but I held onto my routines because they gave me a sense of stability. What I learn is never just theoretical; I apply it every day in my work at the JPBC’s Satellite Unit.

In late spring, the winter vegetables are harvested and new crops sown for the summer season, which will be ready in October. Enough food is now produced that a proportion can be sold and the profits reinvested – helping to sustain and expand the farm further. The rest is distributed for free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/1752841171689-XZHP1UEOSP54J8FJNKUO/Crops+Sustainable+Agriculture+Project.jpg Blog - Fruits of Faith: A Thriving Community Farm in Lebanon A mix of vegetables are grown - all varieties that can withstand the high summer temperatures. The team are also hoping to add safflower to the farm’s crops, which can be used to make cooking oil. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/1752843090876-WU35MPPB8WWSB5CLSKQQ/Wheat+sustainable+acrigulture.jpg Blog - Fruits of Faith: A Thriving Community Farm in Lebanon Fodder, such as hay and barley, is also grown to feed the farm’s small herds of cows and goats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/1752841169083-GXA633XKYKUMGOBIWGUY/Workers+at+sustainable+agriculture+project%2C+Lebanon.jpg Blog - Fruits of Faith: A Thriving Community Farm in Lebanon The farm provides much-needed employment for the area. There are currently 7 regular staff from the community, as well as 26 seasonal workers, most of whom are women, who help sow and harvest the crops. The farm is able to provide them with around 50 days of work a year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/1752841146256-GLHFNK5KBBO8FOMXH0WR/Sustable+agriculture+project.jpg Blog - Fruits of Faith: A Thriving Community Farm in Lebanon One of the farm’s biggest successes has been their small herd of dairy cows. The milk produced is normally sold for profit to help keep the project going.

Stories from Beirut and Bristol - DAN GREEN Dan is the co-founder and director of Bridges for Communities, a Bristol-based charity that connects people of different cultures and faiths and that plays an active role in welcoming refugees and people seeking asylum. After spending 8 years working in the Middle East and running cultural-exchange programs for young people, Dan moved back to Bristol and now leads a team that help refugees adjust to life in the UK, connecting them into local communities through befriending, sewing groups, walking in nature, community feasts, and stepping stones towards employment. Dan is passionate about the role that volunteers, community groups and churches can play in this work, as well as the friendships that grow and the change in our own perceptions that take place as we welcome the stranger. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/8f017e2c-3387-4b44-89d3-34dd9c37fe20/Catherine+Mourtada.jpg Events - WEBINAR - How can Christians welcome refugees? Stories from Beirut and Bristol - CATHERINE MOURTADA A teacher by training, Catherine Mourtada is the co-founder of Tahaddi Lebanon and Director of Education Programmes. Tahaddi (meaning “challenge” in Arabic) is an NGO based in the informal settlement of Hay el Gharbeh, in southern Beirut. It offers holistic support to families facing extreme economic hardship, through education, health and psychosocial services, as well as advocacy. Tahaddi was first set up to serve the needs of the marginalised Lebanese ethnic Dom community. Today, it works with vulnerable Lebanese and Syrian refugees alike, as well as migrant workers, stateless individuals and others who struggle to access essential services because of poverty, discrimination or legal status. The organisation remains committed to the community development model of its founders, with the aim of reflecting God’s compassion in all that it does. https://embraceme.org/events/vigil-for-gaza monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/36834e4b-39db-4e73-85f2-0fa2f4fec151/Munther+Isaac+event+promo+copy.jpg Events -

Strict road closures and the reduction in people’s ability to freely move around the West Bank has meant many Palestinian farmers are unable to travel to harvest their olive tree crops and many other Palestinians are unable to travel to their place of work. Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, we were able to step in and provide support enabling the crop to be harvested and Palestinians to be employed ensuring some families are not broken financially during the chaos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e57daf0af85443d6803fd19/1be1903d-6238-40ae-b69c-fcfbdef12bb0/2023-2024_Sustainable+agriculture+LEB_Rahbe_11.jpg Legacies - £17,000 – Provide food for future generations Our partnership with the Lebanese Society for Educational and Social Development (LSESD) has enabled a local Baptist church to create their own sustainable farm.
