Project Description Region: Middle East Country: Lebanon Location: Beirut Total Budget: $180,000 Area of Focus: Maternal and child health View Online Proposal Form To help fund lifesaving heart surgeries for 22 Lebanese children and 8 Syrian Refugee children with heart disease at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) in Beirut, Lebanon. The Syrian Refugee children will be selected from UN Refugee Camps. Although there is a pediatric cardiac surgical and aftercare team in place at AUBMC, there are over 100 children from Lebanon on the waiting list for cardiac surgery who are unable to be treated due to a lack of funding. This grant will provide lifesaving cardiac treatment to 30% of these children. All surgeries will be completed over the course of 3 - 4 months at AUBMC by the Lebanese pediatric cardiac team. Surgeries will begin upon approval of this global grant.

This fee does not appear in the financials above because it does not apply if the funds are sent directly to the project account (without going through TRF, and therefore without Paul Harris credit). Clubs sending their cash contribution to TRF must be aware they will have to send an additional 5%.
