Rebuilding Lives With GASCF In Lebanon: 5 Children, 5 Powerful Stories
BB Energy Foundation November 21, 2025
GASCF
At BB Energy Foundation, we believe that every child deserves access to healthcare, safety, and dignity — especially in times of crisis.
In October 2024, following escalating violence in Lebanon, we partnered with the Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund (GASCF) to provide urgent medical and psychological care to children affected by airstrikes. Our $100,000 donation directly supported the treatment and recovery of five children whose lives were changed by these events.
Stories of Courage and Recovery
Hussein (4 years, Beirut)
Trapped under rubble after his home was destroyed, Hussein suffered severe leg and shoulder injuries. With GASCF’s coordinated care, he underwent surgery, received psychological support, and can now walk freely again.



Zahraa (9 years, Beirut)
After surviving an airstrike that took the lives of several family members, Zahraa received critical hospital care and specialist follow-up. Today, she has fully recovered and returned to school.
Sara (8 years, Tyre)
A talented young artist, Sara sustained a severe hand injury that threatened her ability to draw. Through surgeries and physiotherapy, she regained movement and continues to express her creativity every day.


Zahraa (13 years, Nabatieh)
After a missile strike caused facial and jaw fractures, Zahraa underwent reconstructive surgery and months of rehabilitation. She can now eat, speak, and smile again — and has returned to football practice.


Ali (2 years, South Lebanon)
Pulled from the rubble in his mother’s arms, Ali lost his right hand but not his spirit. Through multiple surgeries, therapy, and a prosthetic arm, he’s now thriving in preschool — smiling and playing again.



The Power of Partnership
This project illustrates the profound impact that focused, compassionate funding can have when combined with trusted local expertise. Together with GASCF and AUBMC, we ensured these children received holistic care — from emergency surgeries to long-term psychological support.
Looking Ahead
BB Energy Foundation remains committed to supporting healthcare access, education, and wellbeing in the regions where we work. We extend our gratitude to GASCF for their tireless efforts and to all those who continue to help us turn compassion into impact.
“Every step, every smile, and every moment of recovery is a testament to what’s possible when humanity comes together.”

Understanding Rwanda’s Recent History Through Film
Rwanda’s recent history is both painful and important to understand. The 1994 genocide against the Tutsi had a devastating human impact and continues to shape conversations around justice, healing, and reconciliation today. We have highlighted two films, The Uncondemned and Hotel Rwanda, which offer valuable historical and human perspectives on this period, helping viewers engage more deeply with the experiences of those who lived through it.
