About US

Established in December 2019, Lebanon Abroad was established by a group of Australian Lebanese Diaspora who are passionate about democracy, social justice and humanity.

Lebanon Abroad is an NPO organisation located in Sydney-Australia. Our mission is to support and raise awareness of any issues facing the Lebanese diaspora communities, and to offer guidance to the new Lebanese arrivals who want to settle, study or work in Australia. Most recently, after the Lebanese people started to peacefully protest against the corrupted and sectarian governance system in Lebanon, we took upon us the mission of providing them with any possible support. In Australia, we are living and experiencing the importance of human rights in building an equal, respectful and inclusive prosperous nation. Watching our fellow Lebanese uprising to demand the basic human rights for them and their children has sparked a hope to seeing Lebanon as fair and thriving as Australia.
