Supporting local charities in Lebanon just became a lot simpler, and completely fee-free, thanks to MillionBridges.
Based in Barcelona and licensed under EU banking regulations, MillionBridges was founded by Lebanese expats who wanted to make it easier for others abroad to help out back home.
Here’s how it works:
Visit their website or app and register. Head to the donation section and choose from more than 24 Lebanese charities to support directly, among which are Beit el Baraka, Offre Joie, SOS Lebanon, arcenciel, the Lebanese Food Bank, and Souk el Tayeb. New NGOs are added to the list nearly every day!
The donations go straight to the charity’s designated mobile number, and they can withdraw the full amount at any Whish Money location, with no fees deducted for either sending or withdrawing.
To support the Lebanese during the war, MillionBridges is even covering all credit card fees, so if you donate $100, the charity gets the full $100 – no cuts, no delays.
They set this up during the Lebanese Revolution, after realizing how much high commissions were affecting those trying to send money back to Lebanon. Now, they’re removing the barriers to giving, making sure that every donation goes directly to the people and causes that need it most.
