The recent explosion in Beirut has left hundreds of thousands of people without their homes, jobs and basic essentials. The tragic and staggering number of lost lives has devastated the entire nation and as a response to this, we would like to encourage all of our readers to donate and support those who have been affected.
How you can donate…
Many charities and organisations are posting about ways to give. Beauty influencer, Huda Kattan’s suggested many organisations and methods to lend financial support in her latest post, scroll along to find out:
How you can support the Lebanese fashion industry..
Many businesses in the fashion industry have been affected along with the rest of the population in Beirut. Fashion brands have lost their design studios or boutiques and despite their need for physical donations, we would encourage you to show support in any way you can, online.
Through promoting Lebanese brands on social media, you will increase exposure and awareness for the brand. Likewise, if they are still able to sell their products online, you can encourage your friends and family to purchase from their online stores. Furthermore, many have specific charities they are directing their followers to, you can also engage with them in this way.
Continually, if you want to give to an individual business and their staff, you can always get in touch with them through their website or social media. Here are a few Lebanese fashion brands who you can support:
Zuhair Murad
Based in Beirut, Zuhair Murad headquarters was completely damaged in the explosion. To give, head to their website or instagram.
