Providing health care, child protection and psychosocial support services for vulnerable Lebanese communities and displaced families in the West Bekaa.
What We Do?
Located in the West Bekaa, Kamed Al Loz is internationally known for its archaeological importance and historical heritage. Between 1963 and 1981, the area hosted major German archaeological excavations that uncovered significant historical structures and artifacts linked to the region’s ancient civilizations.
Due to its proximity to the Syrian border, Kamed Al Loz has also become a refuge for hundreds of displaced Syrian families over the past years. The wider Bekaa region hosts hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees alongside vulnerable Lebanese communities.
In response to growing humanitarian and health needs, Amel Association International expanded its interventions in the area through integrated health, child protection and psychosocial support programmes.
Primary Health Care
Since 2014, Amel has expanded its health activities in the center to respond to the needs of Syrian refugees and vulnerable host communities with the support of Médecins du Monde.
The center provides a comprehensive primary health care package including general and specialized consultations, medicine distribution and awareness sessions.
A small contribution fee helps maintain the sustainability of health services and operational costs.
Mobile Medical Unit
The Mobile Medical Unit provides medical consultations, medicine distribution and health services for displaced families living in neighboring areas.
This outreach approach helps vulnerable populations access essential care despite transportation and economic barriers.
Child Protection
With the support of UNICEF, the center implements child protection activities for Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian refugee children.
Programmes include psychosocial support, psychological consultations, awareness sessions for parents and outreach activities.
Learning & Recreational Activities
Children benefit from “learning by playing” activities, recreational programmes and community events designed to strengthen resilience and emotional well-being.
These activities create safer and more supportive environments for vulnerable children affected by displacement and crisis.
